| Obama | McCain | |
| Diageo/Hotline | 47 | 42 |
| Gallup | 50 | 42 |
| Rasmussen Reports | 50 | 44 |
| Research 2000/dKos | 50 | 43 |
| Average: | 49.25 | 42.75 |
In one day, or I should say, by adding Saturday to the rolling average (which was the first full day since Friday's debate) and dropping Wednesday off, Barack Obama was able to add 1 full point to his average in the 4 polls. He is now at 50% in three of the trackers and his leads in Rasmussen and Gallup match the largest leads he's ever had in their polls.
From Rasmussen, which has consistently been the most favorable to McCain:
This six-point advantage matches Obama's biggest lead yet and marks the first time he has held such a lead for two-days running
In addition, while Obama's lead in the DailyKos/Research 2000 poll is one point shy of his largest lead of 8 points, his lead in Saturday polling reached 9 points, so no doubt we'll see some further upward mobility for Obama in that poll, and likely others. Remember, these numbers reflect a 3-day rolling average where approximately 1/3 of the polling would have been done post-debate. The reaction to Obama's debate performance will no doubt continue to drive these numbers up and if McCain's dour performance on This Week is any indication, the McCain campaign is ill-equipped to reverse this trend.
