Today's Numbers

Barack Obama continues to move up in the daily tracking polls while John McCain's numbers fizzle below 45 percent, with Obama hitting an all-time high in the R2K tracker and tying his all-time high in the Gallup tracker (which he previously hit only once right in the wake of the Democratic National Convention). This also marks the first time that all four tracking polls have simultaneously shown Obama leading, and Obama's 4 percentage point overall lead is the largest lead he has enjoyed across the four polls since they have been watching the race. In short, Democrats can't bee too unhappy with either the current spread or the current trajectory of these numbers.
