This is the third straight day Obama has lead by 2 in both polls.
Still, Obama is having problems securing more of his base than McCain…
Obama is supported by 77% of Democrats while McCain earns the vote from 85% of Republicans. The two candidates are essentially even among unaffiliated voters.
And while it’s true that many more voters identify as Democrats than Republicans, Obama will need to close that gap in order to get the type of win he needs to claim a mandate for change.
