It's Not Working Yet ...

So far no sign of any bounce from the RNC convention and the so called excitement generated by Sarah Palin.
Of course this doesn't yet include any interviews taken since Pat Buchanan Sarah Palin gave her speech last night.
CBS poll: Palin results in another tie...
...erasing an eight-point lead in one week.

p.s., Is it just my imagination, or are you purging all comments that seek to present an opposing opinion? Nice support of free speech!
There's more to look at than the top line number
The pollster notes that McCain's enthusiasm gap is reduced, but not gone:
"McCain has also closed the enthusiasm gap some with Obama, but it still exists. Fifty-five percent of Obama's supporters are enthusiastic about their choice, and now so are 35% of McCain's. Last weekend, just 25 percent of McCain's supporters were enthusiastic about him, compared to 67 of Obama's supporters.
This week's polling continues to show voters waiting to decide about Sarah Palin (see yesterday's poll on Palin). But in interviewing done yesterday, 83 percent of registered voters said that spouse and family of a candidate will not affect their votes."
Also, you are highlighting the CBS poll, but there is another poll out there, taken over the same three-day period by Democracy Corps [.pdf], that shows a five point lead for Obama.
