CBS just reported that the bump in support that Barack Obama received after the Democratic convention last week has evaporated.
Obama led Republican John McCain 48 percent to 40 percent in national surveying finished on Sunday. But in the new poll, the two are tied at 42 percent, after one speech after another at the GOP convention blasting Obama.
And that was before vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin spoke Wednesday night before about 40 million viewers, and before McCain's acceptance speech tonight.
