Tomorrow's NY Times will have a story that says, in part:
Polls taken after the Republican convention suggested that Mr. McCain had enjoyed a surge of support — particularly among white women after his selection of Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska as his running mate — but the latest poll indicates “the Palin effect” was, at least so far, a limited burst of interest. The contest appeared to be roughly where it was before the two conventions and before the vice-presidential selections: Mr. Obama had the support of 48 percent of registered voters, compared with 43 percent for Mr. McCain, a difference within the poll’s margin of sampling error, and statistically unchanged from the tally in the last New York Times/CBS News Poll in mid-August.
Besides that, there were some battleground state polls that had Obama moving ahead, and others where he was close and challenging.
From NBC's Mark MurrayAnd if that's not enough to give you pleasant dreams, how about this poll of attitudes towards the candidates? [Don't know enough html to put this all in correct columns, but you can figure it out.]
New battleground polls from CNN/Time, conducted among registered voters September 14-16:
-- Florida: McCain 48%, Obama 48%
-- Ohio: Obama 49%, McCain 47%
-- North Carolina: McCain 48%, Obama 47%
-- Indiana: McCain 51%, Obama 46%
-- Wisconsin: Obama 50%, McCain 47%
Favorable/UnfavorableNo bed-wetting tonight, okay?
