Gallup Daily: Obama 46%, McCain 42%

Obama reestablishes significant lead

USA Election 2008 Gallup Daily Americas Northern America PRINCETON, NJ -- Barack Obama leads John McCain 46% to 42% in the latest Gallup Poll Daily tracking update on registered voters' general election preferences.



The latest release, based on June 13-15 interviewing with over 2,600 registered voters nationwide, shows Obama regaining a statistically significant lead over McCain. Over the weekend, the race was slightly closer, but Obama still held an advantage. Obama has led by as many as seven percentage points since Hillary Clinton decided to abandon her presidential bid earlier this month.

McCain has led by as many as six percentage points since Gallup began tracking general election preferences in March. (To view the complete trend since March 7, 2008, click here.)

In Sunday's release, a high of 15% of registered voters did not express a preference for either McCain or Obama, instead saying they were undecided, preferred neither one, preferred some other candidate, or refused to disclose their preference. The percentage with no opinion is down slightly to 13% in today's release, though this is still higher than it has been for most of the tracking to date. -- Jeff Jones
