GALLUP TRACKING POLL: Obama 46, McSame 44, Obama Trending Up, Hillary's Supporters Moving to Obama

Gallup Daily: Obama 46%, McCain 44%

Trend in nightly results moving in Obama’s favor

USA Election 2008 Gallup Daily Americas Northern America PRINCETON, NJ -- Voter preferences in the presidential election remain closely split between Barack Obama, now favored by 46% of national registered voters, and John McCain, favored by 44%.



Today's results, based on Gallup Poll Daily tracking from June 3-7, represent the most positive position Obama has been in versus McCain since mid-May, when he led the presumptive Republican nominee by three percentage points. Since then, Obama either has tied or slightly trailed McCain, or at best been one percentage point ahead (although not a statistically significant lead). (To view the complete trend since March 7, 2008, click here.)

Within the current five-day rolling average, Obama has exceeded McCain by a fair margin in each of the last three individual nights of Gallup polling, all conducted since Hillary Clinton announced she would be ending her bid for the Democratic nomination. It appears that her exit decision had the immediate effect of releasing some of her supporters to back Obama in the general election. If this continues in interviews conducted Sunday, Obama should have a clear lead over McCain in Monday's release. -- Lydia Saad

It shouldn't be close. 2 points are close enough for their infamous voting machines to steal it again.

us all a favor? Give us and Obama some time to kick some repug ass.

What's wrong with people? I realize the press has given him a free pass, but you don't have to listen very long to him to realize that he is not what this country needs.

After only four years of Bush*, I was sure that Kerry would win in a landslide. Who are these people whom they poll, anyway? Either they've just awoken from long comas or they are space aliens who just landed on this planet...:shrug:

to Obama. WTF is wrong with these people who agree with him and bu$h's policies??? :wtf:
