Gallup Daily: Before Final Debate, Obama Leads by 7
Edited on Wed Oct-15-08 01:06 PM by RedSpartan
Source: Gallup

PRINCETON, NJ -- The latest Gallup Poll Daily tracking report shows Barack Obama continuing to lead John McCain, now by seven percentage points among registered voters, 50% to 43%.

These results, based on Oct. 12-14 polling, represent a slightly better showing for McCain than has been the case in recent weeks. His 43% share of the vote matches his high over the past two weeks -- roughly covering the month of October to date -- due, in part, to a stronger showing in Tuesday night's polling. Obama's 50% support level matches his average for October to date.

Obama has held a statistically significant lead, as large as 11 points at times, over McCain among registered voters since just before the first presidential debate in late September.

1. Interesting
The expanded numbers make me think that people are leaving the Republic Party in droves.
Not sure if I like this new system that Gallup is using.

2. I bet they really had to scramble...
to find enough Republicans to poll to get the "weighting" they needed.
