Gallup Daily: McCain, Obama Remain Tied Each receives 44% of vote in latest updateClick here for Gallup's special roundup of July's important election polls.
PRINCETON, NJ -- Republican John McCain and Democrat Barack Obama are once again tied in the latest Gallup Poll Daily tracking presidential trial heat.
The results, based on a three-day rolling average of interviews conducted July 30-Aug. 1, show Obama and McCain each receiving 44% of the vote among registered voters. The candidates were also tied in Friday's update. Obama received a brief increase in support near the conclusion of his overseas trip last week, gaining a nine percentage point advantage in July 24-26 polling. But that bounce disappeared almost quickly as it emerged.
More broadly, Obama has enjoyed an average 3-point advantage since clinching the Democratic nomination in early June. McCain has erased that small advantage.
GO MCCAIN!
