26 July 2008 |permalink | email article

A Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll on Friday of 1,000 likely voters showed a bounce for Obama as his overseas trip wound down.

The presumptive Democratic nominee gets 46% compared to 41% for McCain.

When leaners are included, it’s Obama 49% and McCain 44%

Three days ago, with leaners, the candidates were tied at 46%

Rasmussen Markets data gives Obama a 63.3% chance of becoming president. On Thursday, the markets suggested that Romney and Bayh are the top running mate prospects.

UPDATE: New Gallup Tracking Poll released Saturday had Obama up by 7% - 48 to 41 - his widest margin since early June.
