Obama takes largest lead yet in Gallup poll of likely voters

Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) has taken the largest lead yet among likely voters against Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) in the national Gallup poll released Saturday. Obama expanded his lead to ten percent from nine percent on Friday.

Obama's lead is a dramatic rise from the 49-47 percent margin that Gallup registered just four days ago.

Gallup added, "This is the first time since Gallup began estimating likely voters in early October that there is no difference between Gallup's two likely voter models. Obama's lead of 52% to 42% using Gallup's traditional estimate of likely voting criteria takes into account past voting as well as current intentions. Obama's identical lead using the expanded model takes into account only current voting intentions."

"Both of these likely voter estimates in turn are almost identical to Gallup's 52% to 41% registered voter estimate.

Ford was behind by 11 and won...wouldn't put a lot of stock in this poll. Hoping and praying God forgives us and puts McCain in the white house. Obama-Bin-Lying is a scary, scary, scary man! Wonder why when he went to Hawaii to see his sick and dying grandma that all of a sudden his birth records are sealed by the governor of Hawaii......hmmmm

Alimom, here's the thing about the birth certificate (and I'm not going to even touch the rest): do you honestly hold no faith in the extremely intricate government to think that they would allow anyone to run for the highest office of power in the country without making sure he was actually born in this country?

There are so many things that the government fails to tell us, for our protection probably, and I'm sure this is one of them. If he weren't born in America, they wouldn't let him run. Simple as that.

GO OBAMA!!!!

I'm soooo excited Nathalie!  ONE! MORE! DAY!  Chuck Todd this morning was reminiscing on the Today show that in 2004 at this time Bush and Kerry were neck and neck in all the polls - with Bush having the advantage......
