How long Obama holds the lead is open to question, as voters react to John McCain's surprise selection of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin for his running mate and Republicans begin their nominating convention tomorrow in St. Paul, Minnesota. Obama leads McCain 49-41 percent in the most recent Gallup Poll daily tracking survey, which measured voter sentiment during a three-day period ending Aug. 28. The presidential contenders had been tied at 45 percent in the last Gallup tracking results before the Democrats started their Colorado convention. A separate tracking poll by Rasmussen Reports put Obama's advantage at 3 percentage points. The 8 percentage-point lead in the Gallup survey almost matches Obama's biggest margin of the campaign, a 9-point bulge in tracking polls conducted July 24-26, Gallup said.

Here's a link to yesterday's Gallup poll, which had Obama with a 6-point lead:
http://www.gallup.com/poll/109903/Gallup-Daily-ObamaBid... He had an 8-point lead in Gallup's tracking poll for the two days before that. Today's Gallup poll should be out in 4 or 5 hours. |
