Here are today's numbers:
| Obama | McCain | |
| Diageo/Hotline | 47 | 42 |
| Gallup | 48 | 44 |
| Rasmussen Reports | 51 | 45 |
| Research 2000/dKos | 51 | 41 |
| Average: | 49.25 | 43.00 |
As Jerome noted earlier, the Battleground tracker (.pdf) of likely voters has Barack Obama up 2 points, 48 percent to 46 percent. Other national polls also have Obama leading John McCain, with ABC News and The Washington Post (.pdf) showing Obama up 50 percent to 46 percent, Time putting Obama up 50 percent to 43 percent, and Pew finding a 49 percent to 43 percent lead for Obama, all among likely voters. If you add these four surveys to the four daily trackers above, Obama's average haul stays at exactly 49.25 percent while McCain's average showing increases slightly to 43.875 percent. In short, across all of the surveys out today Obama is up about 6 points nationally, holding firm at or just below 50 percent.
Additionally, I'd like to note that I heard CNN's John King on the radio moments ago talking about a poll from Florida coming out in about 15 minutes also showing Obama at 51 percent in the state -- suggesting the Quinnipiac poll out today showing Obama above 50 percent in the state was no outlier.
