USA TODAY: Gallup's latest: Obama back at 50%; McCain at 44%

[BigBearJohn]

For the third straight day, Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama has widened his small lead over Republican John McCain in Gallup's daily tracking poll.

Today, Gallup says, Obama has a 6 percentage point advantage among registered voters nationwide -- 50% to McCain's 44%. Obama has now had the lead for four straight days.

This marks the first time either candidate has been at 50% since Obama touched that point in the three days of polling that ended Sept. 1.

Gallup writes that "there is thus a reasonable inference that Obama's gains may, in part, be related to the way in which the public viewed his and McCain's response to the financial crisis" that has swept Wall Street this past week.

The latest numbers are based on surveys of 2,756 registered voters, done from Sept. 17 to 19. The margin of error on each result is +/- 2 percentage points.

1. Obama has the momentum going into the final weeks!

The only chance McCain has now is the debates!

And Obama is going to slay McCain at the debates!

2. Obama needs to HIT HARD the idea that McCon was for deregulation.

3. Do they just call random people and ask if they're registered or do they go off a voter list?
