.....AFTER THE CONVENTIONS

To read the polls, you wouldn’t think much changed after the two party conventions. Held back to back, Obama and the Democrats moved up during their gathering and then appear to have lost all of their gains during the Republican convention.
For John McCain and his party, the nomination of Sarah Palin certainly energized his followers, but he seems to face the same tied race after the exchange of conventions that he faced before them.

But, beneath the surface poll data, the post-convention environment has indeed altered dramatically in McCain’s direction.

WHAT MCCAIN HAS TO DO NOW

Now McCain should pound away with negatives on Obama focusing on three key issues: taxes, energy, and terrorism.Polls show that a majority of voters disbelieve Obama’s claim that he will not raise taxes on 95% of Americans. Indeed, the latest Rasmussen survey indicates that 56% believe he will raise their personal income taxes. It is a short leap from there to predict economic disaster if taxes are raised as broadly and as high as Obama has predicted.
