The latest numbers from the Gallup Daily Tracking Poll show a continuing surge for
Senator Obama! He has tied his previous highwater mark in the Gallup Tracking Poll and leads John McCain 51% to 42%.
From the Gallup website:
The nine percentage point lead in Oct. 4-6 tracking matches Obama's highest to date for the campaign, and the highest for either candidate. Obama led McCain by 49% to 40% near the tail end of his international trip in late July. (To view the complete trend since March 7, 2008, click here.)
Obama has now held a statistically significant lead since Sept. 24-26 polling and has not trailed McCain since Sept. 13-15, roughly coinciding with the intensification of the financial crisis.
McCain has an opportunity to try to reverse Obama's momentum at tonight's town hall style debate in Nashville.

Let's hope that tonite's debate helps solidify these numbers even further and we can spend the last four weeks on a Democratic blowout that will yield a clear mandate for change for President Obama!
