Polls have a huge influence in political messages and advertising. Today we'll hear from one of the premier pollsters, John Zogby. We'll get his take on the post–convention bounce that John McCain and Sarah Palin are enjoying. We'll ask him, and you: at the end of the day, is it a politician's stand on the issues that decides elections? Or is it personality and temperament?

Also, on Monday in SeaTac two pit bulls attacked a 71 year–old woman and nearly killed her. Surgeons are trying to reattach her ears — the dogs ripped them from her head. According to the Seattle Animal Shelter, although only four percent of licensed dogs in Seattle are pit bulls, 22 percent of reported bites are by pitbulls. Activists in Seattle and Spokane would like a ban on pit bulls. What do you think?
