The convention bounce?

Today's Gallup and Rasmussen show Obama at +8 and +4 respectively, Obama's polling numbers haven't been that high for almost 2 months. (Rasumssen has generally had a more conservative number for Obama throught the summer than it's counterpart.) Showing that the Democratic convention did its job.
He should enjoy it while he can, because after a week straight of Republicans uniting against him with their combined fury at their own convention, that lead should deteriorate drastically.
If however, it doesn't, and Obama's fresh lead holds, then the McCain campaign is in serious trouble and will look to the debates as a last desperate gamble to prove their point that Obama isn't ready to handle tough questions and serious issues.
