Obama regains slight national lead in Gallup Poll
The Associated PressTHE POLL: Gallup Poll Daily tracking, national presidential race among registered voters
THE NUMBERS: Barack Obama 48 percent, John McCain 44 percent
OF INTEREST: According to this poll, voters' views of the race have returned to about where they were for much of the summer, when Obama generally had a modest but consistent lead over McCain. The Republican caught Obama as the GOP convention ended in early September and McCain's lead in this survey reached as high as 5 percentage points. Obama, though, has regained a slender advantage.
DETAILS: Conducted Sept. 15-17 by landline and cellular telephone with 2,815 registered voters. Sampling error margin plus or minus 2 percentage points.
