1. The electoral map is going to be tough for Obama to overcome, unfortunately.

It'd be tough for any Democrat to overcome.

2. We shall overcome in a big way on November 4th.

Mark my word...and it all will be due to several factors.....!

4. You are overestimating McCain and understimating Obama.

3. I'll be dejected if his polling lead over McCain doesn't increase in the ensuing days.

Gallup almost always has both candidates between 43 and 48. Barely any changes.

4. As Obama is able to focus now on his GE campaign,

many more people will pay attention to HIM, rather than to the race between him and Hillary. And as he connects with more people, I have faith and hope in the American people that they will see the VAST difference between him and McCain.

5. Done on mostly on land lines based on the other choices of neither, other and no opinion

That seems like some iffy stuff. Give a few more weeks when gasoline hits $5.00+ a gallon and the real inflation rates hit peoples pocket books much harder

6. These tasty morsels from the write-up...

Today's results, based on Gallup Poll Daily tracking from June 3-7, represent the most positive position Obama has been in versus McCain since mid-May, when he led the presumptive Republican nominee by three percentage points. Since then, Obama either has tied or slightly trailed McCain, or at best been one percentage point ahead (although not a statistically significant lead). (To view the complete trend since March 7, 2008, click here.)

Within the current five-day rolling average, Obama has exceeded McCain by a fair margin in each of the last three individual nights of Gallup polling, all conducted since Hillary Clinton announced she would be ending her bid for the Democratic nomination. It appears that her exit decision had the immediate effect of releasing some of her supporters to back Obama in the general election. If this continues in interviews conducted Sunday, Obama should have a clear lead over McCain in Monday's release. -- Lydia Saad
