With everything happening so quickly it's hard to get a fix on what's happening with these Rasmussen numbers. Yesterday was the official marker for the bounce at +3 and would have included sampling from Fri-Sun. Today's would be Sat-Mon and shows a +6. What does that tell us? It could be noise. It could be delayed convention bounce. It could be the first signs of Palin weighing down McCain.
The RNC should provide some momentum in McCain's favor possibly with today's sampling, but more likely tomorrow's (so Thursday's poll). With another historical bounce coming, it will be very difficult to isolate Palin's effect, but I would expect the McCain staff are on alert.
