Gallup: Obama Up 9, 7, 3

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

All positive movement for Obama today as he gains 2 in the registered model, stays the same in the likely expanded and gains 1 in the likely traditional.

But again, since Rasmussen’s numbers have tightened, I have to think that if Obama starts to dip below 49% in Gallup’s other two models, the face is changing and undecideds are breaking for McCain.

Registered Voters: Obama +9


Likely Voters (Expanded Model): Obama +7


Likely Voters (Traditional Model): Obama +3


Gallup talks undecideds and registered voters…

Tonight, Barack Obama is using some of his record campaign funds to air a 30-minute campaign advertisement on most major television networks. Any possible impact of the ad on voter preferences will be apparent in the coming days. Gallup has only found about 4% of likely voters to be truly undecided at this late stage of the campaign, in that they do not express a preference or leaning for Obama, McCain, nor some other candidate.

Obama has a slightly larger lead among the pool of all registered voters, currently at 51% to 42%. These percentages have been stable throughout October, and the current figures precisely match the average for the month to date.

More tomorrow…
