TRACKERS

Posted at 1:23 p.m. ET

Both trackers for the day are now out, and both show a drop for Obama.

As reported earlier, Rasmussen has Obama up two, a drop from five yesterday.

Gallup has Obama up four, a drop from seven yesterday.

Ras measures likely voters, Gallup registered voters. 

Two thirds of the polling for both Ras and Gallup was conducted before Sarah Palin's acceptance speech.  None of the polling yet reflects Senator McCain's speech.

By Sunday we should have the full impact of the Palin speech, and by Monday the full impact of Senator McCain's.

Things are moving in the right direction.
