McCain gained one and Obama lost one to pull even tighter. And these numbers are actually lower than Real Clear Politics average of +4.9 for Obama.

Gallup shares the trends…

Barack Obama has moved to an eight point or higher lead several times since June, including after his foreign trip in July, after the Democratic National Convention, and more recently late last week.

In each instance Obama was unable to sustain his lead, and John McCain was able to narrow the gap, as is happening now – to, at least, a modest degree.

In addition to continuing action on the part of the Senate and Congress on a financial rescue bill, Thursday’s vice presidential debate between Sarah Palin and Joe Biden could potentially have an effect on the horserace.

More tomorrow…
