WASHINGTON — The Republican National Convention has given John McCain and his party a significant boost, a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll taken over the weekend shows, as running mate Sarah Palin helps close an "enthusiasm gap" that has dogged the GOP all year.

McCain leads Democrat Barack Obama by 50%-46% among registered voters, the Republican's biggest advantage since January and a turnaround from the USA TODAY poll taken just before the convention opened in St. Paul. Then, he lagged by 7 percentage points.

The convention bounce has helped not only McCain but also attitudes toward Republican congressional candidates and the GOP in general.

"The Republicans had a very successful convention and, at least initially, the selection of Sarah Palin has made a big difference," says political scientist Larry Sabato of the University of Virginia. "He's in a far better position than his people imagined he would be in at this point."

However, in an analysis of the impact of political conventions since 1960, Sabato concluded that post-convention polls signal the election's outcome only about half the time. "You could flip a coin and be about as predictive," he says. "It is really surprising how quickly convention memories fade." FIND MORE STORIES IN: George W Bush | Barack Obama | John McCain | Republican National Convention | University of Virginia | Joe Biden | Sarah Palin | Larry Sabato

McCain has narrowed Obama's wide advantage on handling the economy, by far the electorate's top issue. Before the GOP convention, Obama was favored by 19 points; now he's favored by 3.

The Republican's ties to President Bush remains a vulnerability. In the poll, 63% say they are concerned he would pursue policies too similar to those of the current president. Bush's approval rating is 33%.

In the new poll, taken Friday through Sunday, McCain leads Obama by 54%-44% among those seen as most likely to vote. The survey of 1,022 adults, including 959 registered voters, has a margin of error of +/— 3 points for both samples.

Among the findings:

• 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%.

• 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.

Obama's choice of Delaware Sen. Joe Biden as running mate made 14% more likely to vote for the Democrat, 7% less likely.

• McCain's acceptance speech Thursday received lower ratings than the one Obama gave a week earlier: 15% called McCain's speech "excellent" compared with 35% for Obama.

Never heard of that before. From glancing at your link it looks like it is based on race and income. Regardless it is significant. McCain has been creeping up and now leads. I thinkk Sarah Palin is the reason for this. I think McCain will go on to win. It is checkmate.

I don't know if I will vote for the ticket. I like Palin she seems genuine. But McCain is not my type of republican.

I'll probably vote Baldwin but in the back of my mind I will want Obama defeated.

That's a pretty big convention bounce. Barring some major goof up on McCain's part this looks like a very close race.

You may be correct. Have you seen this video?

I think that the election fraud (if true) already happened to put McCain where he is. I think that between the two major candidates we have left. The people would choose McCain without having to cheat. Because of several things. Obama muslim rumors. Obama inexperienced and history vague. On the plus side because Palin relates to ordinary people.

Scrap the bottom of the barrel for an opinion...There's no way in hell Diebold could pull off this miracle of numbers with an instant revolt...McCain's only advantage is that very few will show up to vote at all...

You don't seem to be very perceptive...so I'll challenge to you to a wager perhaps?

Not instant...but the Kosher King Davids are very worried about the internet...seems the goyim are making a joke of hasbara on a very personal level. This Jew World Order has its last chance to go viral or a pogrom will be global for the first time in 5000 years of deception success.

Quit lying. It is unbecoming.

Wonder woman? Nah........Super Woman---at least on par with Super Man, doncha think? She's only been known for something like 10 days to the lower 48, and has had people drinking kool-aid for days now....."Wonder" couldn't have done that, surely. No.....most likely it is a Super Woman. :)

I like the gal a lot, but still am not voting for her because of the Pow HATER sitting on the top of the ticket. If I bother to vote, it will be a write in for Ron Paul.

I understand that.

But if Obama is elected and two years down the line you read that McCain died of natural causes. Will you take a pause and think of what could have been.

I'm not sure about Palin. But from what I've seen so far I like most of it. She seems genuine.

People on here can bicker as to who has accurately predicted the outcome. The main point was made above.
That will be the ONLY thing I am thinking on election day, now, to make the vote with the largest impact against Omaba Hussein.
