CNN Post-Biden Poll shows Obama-McCain dead heat -- 7% OBAMA LEAD GONE

[Sensitivity]

DENVER, Colorado (CNN) -- It's a dead heat in the race for the White House.


The first national poll conducted after Barack Obama publicly named Joe Biden as his running mate suggests that the battle for the presidency between the Illinois senator and John McCain is all tied up.

In a new CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll released Sunday night, 47 percent of those questioned are backing Obama, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominees, with an equal amount supporting his Republican opponent, McCain.

"This looks like a step backward for Obama, who had a 51 to 44 percent advantage last month," said CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. "Even last week, just before his choice of Joe Biden as his running mate became known, most polls tended to show Obama with a single-digit advantage over McCain."

I and my friends were eagerly expecting a BOUNCE from this solid and rationally explained V.P. pick.
Will it happen? Will be hard to tell after the convention starts and polls start tracking a convention bounce.
