... candidate’s run. Presumably he’s doing all of this now, during the summer when attention spans are lower, in preparation for a return to brand-building after the convention. Per tonight’s new CNN poll , there’s no evidence (yet) that it’s hurt him. But note: “There is some danger for McCain in making these charges.

... polls in the upper 30s, with a bunch of undecideds left over.
I would not expect the generic Democrat to pick up much more from that pool of undecideds, which probably contain a lot of disaffected conservatives and conservative-leaning independents sitting on their hands. (Democrats won 53.6% of the vote in 2006 when they took back the House, already a pretty strong number historically.)
Obama performs a little bit under that. The most recent polls from CNN, Pew and AP-Ipsos have him at 51%, 47% and 47%.
