On Tuesday the Gallup Daily Election Polling Results had shown Barack Obama holding a firm lead over Republican rival 72 year old John McCain. The current online polling tracks back to March 7, 2008 and this resent breakthrough for Obama should be seen as an encouraging sign to the Democratic Party.

In other encouraging news, according to resent CNN polling Obama has picked up two more swing states, the state of New Mexico and Minnesota are starting to lean toward the Democratic ticket.

If you want to see a more advanced result of this Presidential Election, the website www.electoral-vote.com puts Obama winning the election 278 to McCain 247 and 13 tied Virginia still being a tossup state.

The website, www.fivethirtyeight.com, has Obama projected to win 307.1 to McCain 230.9, and Obama winning the popular vote 49.9 percent.

I can sleep easy tonight having seen the Republic National Convention and know the according to the Vegas odds Barack Obama is favored to win this election 69.8 percent.
