One thing that does not seem to be good for Obama at present is that while Gallup had him up by 8 immediately after his speech, a recent poll by Zogby has McCain up 2 and CNN has Obama only up one. The reason I say that does not look good for Obama is that there will be a (small) bounce for McCain after the republican convention. McCain's announcment of Palin immediately after the Dem convention seems to have negated the expected Obama bounce (which it seems like he got - going up 8 in the Gallup poll) when Gallup had had it tied for the previous couple of days.
Granted, it's still very, very close, but I'm sure Obama and his team expected a lead to hold for a bit before the Republican convention.
