http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/election_20082/2008_presidential_election/daily_presidential_tracking_pollThis is the fourth straight day that McCain has been at 49% or above. Prior to this recent stretch, the Republican nominee had not topped 48% on any day since Obama wrapped up the Democratic Presidential Nomination in early June. Still, today’s results show Obama a point closer to McCain than he’s been for the last three days.
McCain is viewed favorably by 56% of the nation’s voters while Obama earns positive reviews from 54% (see trends). Other key stats of Election 2008 can still be seen at Obama-McCain: By the Numbers.
At noon Eastern today, Rasmussen Reports will release new data showing whether voters believe McCain, Obama, and their running mates are prepared to be President (Premium Members can get a sneak peek and see the results now).
At 6:00 p.m. Eastern, new state polling will be released for Colorado, Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.
