While the economy crash didn't help McCain and has helped lead to the blowout numbers we are seeing his lead was due to the post convention bounce.

Look at Obama's numbers there is a trend. Right at convention time his numbers dropped but it rebounded to the same spot. I and i'm sure most people looking back will refer to this as a convention bounce.
