PRINCETON, NJ -- Republican John McCain and Democrat Barack Obama are once again tied in the latest Gallup Poll Daily tracking presidential trial heat.

The results, based on a three-day rolling average of interviews conducted July 30-Aug. 1, show Obama and McCain each receiving 44% of the vote among registered voters. The candidates were also tied in Friday's update. Obama received a brief increase in support near the conclusion of his overseas trip last week, gaining a nine percentage point advantage in July 24-26 polling. But that bounce disappeared almost quickly as it emerged.

More broadly, Obama has enjoyed an average 3-point advantage since clinching the Democratic nomination in early June. For the moment, McCain has erased that small advantage. (To view the complete trend since March 7, 2008, click here.) -- Jeff Jones

4. and what does this realy mean? It doesn't mean sqwat

I want the puke MSM to keep up the propaganda, and bash the youth who they say won't vote

I want them to ignore the unemployed, or those who have lost their homes, and worst of all to continue to ignore the soldiers who they helped send to Iraq which resulted in over 4000 dead, and over 30000 wounded

2006 was a very loud and clear message, and 2008 will hand the "conventional wisdom" their ass on a platter as Obama and a Democrat Congress has a huge win
