LONDON (Reuters) - European building materials and construction stocks could be big gainers from a Barack Obama win in Tuesday's U.S. presidential election, while defense companies would get a boost if rival John McCain won, analysts said.

Democrat Obama led Republican McCain in five of eight key battleground states, according to a series of Reuters/Zogby polls as the two candidates face the verdict of U.S. voters following a long and bitter campaign.

"Obama would spend a lot of money on the public sector, which would be good for road builders. A landslide Obama win would also be good for retailers because it would come with a feel-good factor that would boost consumer spending," said Mark Bon, fund manager at Canada Life.
