Washington, D.C. (AHN) - Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) has a nine-point advantage over Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) in Gallup's daily tracking.

The freshman Democrat is ahead of McCain, 51-42 percent, his highest lead to date since McCain trailed in July, when Obama met with leaders in Europe and the Middle East, also by nine points.

"Obama has now held a statistically significant lead since Sept. 24-26 polling and has not trailed McCain since Sept. 13-15, roughly coinciding with the intensification of the financial crisis," Gallup said in a news release.

The poll was conducted among 2,747 registered voters from Oct. 4-6. Its margin of error is 2 percent.
