The latest Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby poll of likely voters nationwide shows Democrat Barack Obama enjoys a small but growing lead over Republican John McCain, as the candidates work to cope with an daunting economic meltdown that continues to deteriorate worldwide, and voters try to figure out just what is going on and who is more to blame.
The rolling telephone tracking poll, including a sample of 1,203 likely voters collected over the previous three 24-hour periods spanning four calendar days - approximately 400 per 24-hour period from Oct. 6-9, 2008 - shows that Obama enjoys a growing lead, now at 4.2 percentage points, up from 3.6 percentage points yesterday.
Obama had his first single-day polling above 50%, while McCain polled in the low 40s for the second day in a row.
