Surprise, surprise. Last night I said that the USA Today/Gallup poll is usually way off from other polls. So here is the average of every other poll taken during the same timeframe:

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/us/general_election_mccain_vs_obama-225.html

McCain +1.5

CNN 09/05 - 09/07 942 RV 48 48 Tie
Rasmussen Tracking 09/05 - 09/07 3000 LV 48 47 McCain +1
Hotline/FD Tracking 09/05 - 09/07 924 RV 44 44 Tie
Gallup Tracking 09/05 - 09/07 2733 RV 49 44 McCain +5

 

Well, the first poll was pretty far off then. There's still a pretty significant bounce, though. And an update, the RCP average is now showing McCain up by 3.0%. It's been a while since that happened.
