Gallup is also looking at the race according two likely voter scenarios. One, the traditional Gallup approach, takes into account voters' intentions to vote in the current election as well as self-reported voting history. Among this group, Obama leads McCain by six points, 51% to 45%. The other approach uses only voters' self-professed likelihood to vote in 2008, but does not take into account whether respondents have voted in past elections. Among this expanded group, Obama leads by 10 points, 53% to 43%.
Barack Obama enjoys a solid advantage over John McCain -- 53% to 39% -- in U.S. public perceptions of which of the two candidates would better handle the economy as president.
Basically, Germ McSame needs a game changing debate or an extraordinary outside event to turn this race around. Here is to hoping Barack closes him out tomorrow night!
