Obama Up 8 in Rasmussen Poll

Obama has cracked the 50% mark and is edging up. Gallup numbers will be out soon and polls for Colorado, Florida, Missouri, Ohio and Virginia will be out at 6 pm Eastern.
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows Barack Obama attracting 52% of the vote while John McCain earns 44%. This is the highest level of support ever recorded for Obama and is his largest lead of the year. It also continues a remarkable twenty-five days in a row where the Democrat’s support has never declined by even a single point. The Democratic candidate has gained six full percentage points of support since Lehman Brothers collapsed to start the Wall Street mess (see trends).
