McCain outperforms Obama for the first time in poll.The Republican presidential candidate John McCain slightly ahead in the electoral preferences to his opponent Democrat Barack Obama in a new survey due to the national convention of his party and the ignition of his speech to the vice-presidential partner Sarah Palin.
Palin, a conservative who rejects abortion even in cases of rape and incest, shook the foundation of his party last week during the Republican National Convention with a sarcastic and poignant message against Obama.
But this week has a complicated test with his first television interview to be broadcast nationally since McCain named as his companion formula.
Being barely a policy known as governor of Alaska, Palin immediately reached national prominence with the appointment.
Increased McCain in electoral preferences was expected, because the candidates almost always receive a boost in the polls after their conventions but that advantage does not usually last.
The new study of the Survey The USA Today-Gallup Poll showed on Sunday that the Republican candidate was in front with 50% of the electoral preferences against Obama 46%, which means at least that advantage faded McCain seven points that got his rival after the Democratic convention a week earlier. The new poll had a margin of error of 3%.
Also on Sunday, aides to McCain said that Palin will have a televised interview. The announcement culminates a week of intense scrutiny about Palin, who has been brought to bear little international experience and exaggerating its merits of reformist.
