Daily Polling Update 5/9/08

Polling Data from 4/28-5/8

Update:5/10/08 3:22 AM: As Real Clear Politics has fixed an error in their data reporting (a poll which first reported a 47-43 McCain advantage actually showed a 47-43 lead for Obama). As they have fixed their averages, so have I fixed mine.

As always the highest and lowest polling results for each candidate are thrown out in an attempt to reduce the influence of obvious outliers. (For example the CBS poll below showing an eleven point lead for Obama when every other poll shows a one to six point race).

Obama 47 (46.9) (43-51)
McCain 44 (43.6 (40-48)

Poll Leads: Obama 7, McCain 2
Largest Leads: Obama +11 (CBS/NYT), McCain +3 (Fox)

Projected Popular Vote (Assuming a 50/50 split of undecided voters)

Obama 52 (51.8)
McCain 48 (48.2)
