<p>Cross posted from <a href="http://race42008.com/2008/09/07/poll-alert-usa-todaygallup-general-election-poll-2">here</a>.</p>
<p>Here is the full poll that Matthew E. Miller <a href="http://race42008.com/2008/09/07/from-the-department-of-holy-cow-gallup-poll/" target="_blank">wrote</a> about eariler:</p>
<blockquote><p><a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.usatoday.com/news/politics/election2008/2008-09-07-poll_N.htm');" href="http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/election2008/2008-09-07-poll_N.htm" target="_blank">USA Today/Gallup General Election Poll</a>, conducted Sept. 5th-7th, 2008</p>
<p><strong>Likely Voters</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>McCain/Palin 54%</strong></li>
<li>Obama/Biden 44%</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Registered Voters</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>McCain/Palin 50%</strong></li>
<li>Obama/Biden 46%</li>
</ul>
<p><em>The survey of 1,022 adults, including 959 registered voters, has a margin of error of +/— 3 points for both samples</em>.</p></blockquote>
<p>Inside the numbers:</p>
<blockquote><p>Before the convention, Republicans by 47%-39% were less enthusiastic than usual about voting. Now, they are more enthusiastic by 60%-24%, a sweeping change that narrows a key Democratic advantage. Democrats report being more enthusiastic by 67%-19%.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, a national unknown before McCain chose her for the ticket 10 days ago, draws a strong reaction from voters on both sides. Now, 29% say she makes them more likely to vote for McCain, 21% less likely.</p></blockquote>
