Burying the favorable Obama polls – USA Today-Gallup – Obama on top 
UPDATE 8/30:
Original cortex post (before the Gallup update)>>
Obama 4 points up, or all tied up?
USAToday buried the headline. The poll number finding from last weekend (before the convention hooplah) with Obama ahead – is below.
Obama holds a 47%-43% edge over McCain among registered voters and a 48%-45% edge among likely voters.
[In the USA TODAY/Gallup Poll a month ago, Obama led McCain by 3 percentage points, but McCain held a 4-point lead among likely voters.]
And Obama is pulling a few points higher than this now following the Dems confab and coverage of Denver.
Most of the telephone survey of 1,023 adults was taken before Obama announced Delaware Sen. Joe Biden as his running mate Saturday.You'd never know from the headline that even ahead of Denver, 70% of Hillary's supporters said they would be voting for him in November.
In the survey, taken Thursday through Saturday [8/21 - 8/24], 47% of Clinton supporters say they are solidly behind Obama, and 23% say they support him but may change their minds before the election.47% + 23% = 70%
