Gallup: Obama Up By 11, 10, 10

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

We’re now at double digits in all models, and I think this is the first time we’ve seen this.

Not only that, Obama is at a solid 52% in every model as well.

Things are looking increasingly grim for McCain.

Registered Voters: Obama +11


Likely Voters (Expanded Model): Obama +10


Likely Voters (Traditional Model): Obama +10


Gallup explains how the early voting is benefitting Obama in these numbers…

Gallup’s interviewing conducted Wednesday through Friday shows that 27% of registered voters who plan to vote have already voted. The trend in early voting has trended consistently upward on a day to day basis, moving from 7% of registered voters, who had already voted during the period of Oct. 17-19, to the current estimate of 27%. Another 8% of registered voters still indicate that they plan on voting before Election Day itself.

The vote choices of these early voters — all of whom are included in the likely voter pool since they are definite voters — skew more toward Barack Obama than the sample average. Thus, more and more of these Obama-oriented voters’ choices are being “locked in” to the likely voter pool through early voting, benefiting Obama.

More tomorrow…
