Obama Up In National Polls

October
2

Not only is Barack Obama up in the New York poll today, he’s also taken a lead in new national polls.

A Marist College poll today shows Obama leading Republican John McCain 47 percent to 43 percent among registered voters nationwide.

The Marist survey found that Friday’s debate did little to sway voters: last week its poll had Obama with a 49 percent to 44 percent lead.

It seems voters, though, like both candidates: 61 percent have a positive perception of Obama, and 60 percent for McCain.

Meanwhile, an Associated Press poll today had Obama with a seven-point lead over McCain with just one month to go before Election Day. A similar AP poll three weeks ago had McCain with a slight lead.
