Here are today's numbers:
| Obama | McCain | |
| Diageo/Hotline | 51 | 44 |
| Gallup (Trad) | 52 | 42 |
| Gallup (Exp) | 52 | 42 |
| Rasmussen Reports | 51 | 46 |
| Research 2000/dKos | 51 | 44 |
| Composite: | 51.25 | 44.00 |
Barack Obama's lead over John McCain in Gallup's traditional turnout model is his largest since the survey has been published, and it matches his largest spread in the expanded turnout model as well. Yesterday's Washington Post/ABC News tracking poll also found Obama expanding on his lead, pushing it to 53 percent to 44 percent over McCain -- or largely in line with both the composite of the polling above, as well as the trend.
But what it all comes down to is this: McCain needs this race to tighten if he wants a shot at winning the presidency, but not only is there no evidence of tightening in the race -- he is still having difficulty crossing the 45 percent threshold in national polling -- there is in fact evidence that the race is one again diverging, with Obama's lead growing.
We are 3 days out from election day. What are you doing to help enact progressive change in this country?
