A few major polls have been released yesterday and today, and all of them are looking at McCain in the lead.

The CBS News-New York Times poll interviewed the same people both before and after the conventions for some of these answers. Here are a few of the poll questions and answers:

BEFORE AND AFTER BOTH CONVENTIONS: VOTE FOR PRESIDENT
               NOW   8/20/08 (Before Conventions)
McCain        46%   42% 
Obama  44   45
Undecided  9   10
IS YOUR MIND MADE UP?
                        Obama voters           McCain voters
                       Now 8/20  Now  8/20
Yes   79% 74%  82%  72%
No, too soon         21 25  18  28

ABC News/ Washington Post Poll came out today and shows McCain is up two points. They have focused some of their poll on how specifically white women are more inclined to vote.

The only national poll that has McCain tied with Obama is the CNN poll.

If you check out the RealClearPolitics Blog, they’ve got a great mashup of all the polls and the averages of all of them put together. (Which, by the way, shows McCain in the lead by 2.9 points)
