And I'm not saying you haven't seen polls that back your assertion, I was just pointing out that the poll DaemonSeid posted is completely irrelevant to the assertion since the sample period was completed a day before McCain made the announcement.

Oh I agree. I guess I didn't say it well -- there's no way that polling before the event (like what DS posted) could reflect the event. In my earlier post, I was referring to some preliminary polling that I have seen on McCain's decision and how it is viewed. I specifically characterized it as "early" (and threw in the FWIW) because such early polling very well may not accurately reflect how the decision is being viewed at large once people have had some time to think about it.
Make more sense?
