The right was trying to say that Powell’s endorsement of Obama wouldn’t do much. Well that appears to be a false notion according to a new poll:

First on Powell – Two in 10 independent voters said they are more inclined to vote for Obama because of Powell’s backing; 4 percent said they were nudged the other way.

So 20% are more likely to vote for Obama now, but only 4% are going for McCain? That seems like a 5-1 bounce in Obama’s direction. Right wing talking heads loose another talking point to facts.
