Gallup: Obama Up By 910, 9, 5

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, McCain, Polls

Obama gains 1 in the registered and likely expanded models, but loses a net 2 points in the traditional model.

Still, he hasn’t fallen below 50% in any of these models, so all of the trends still suggest an easy Obama win in 9 days.

The numbers…

Registered Voters: Obama +910 (Gallup didn’t update their graph so it was wrong)

Likely Voters (Expanded Model): Obama +9

Likely Voters (Traditional Model): Obama +5

However, Gallup needs to be a little bit more careful with their reporting, because they contradict their own numbers. Because either Obama gained 1 in the registered numbers and now has a +10 lead (as shown) or he stayed the same with a +9 lead as they suggest in the following…

Obama currently holds a 51% to 42% lead over McCain among all registered voters, which equals the average for October to date. That nine percentage point average lead is easily Obama’s best of the campaign; his average lead was two points in September, three points in August, four points in July, and three points in June.

More tomorrow…

UPDATE:
Actually, they did screw up their graph so I’ve changed the registered numbers to reflect this.
