We’re only about 48 hours away from the first polls closing, so the final public opinion polls are rolling in and making news.

Following the Democratic National Convention last week, Barack Obama opened a lead of between 5 and 9 points over Senator McCain. But his convention bounce seems to have been short-lived, as a new CBS News poll out today shows a tie in the Presidential race.

24. August 2008
According to Gallup polling, the Biden announcement has generated practically no bounce for Obama’s campaign. That’s unusual, since a candidate normally picks up a few points when he adds a Vice-President to the ticket… Typically, presidential candidates have gotten a bump in the polls after naming their vice presidential running mate.
