Obama Up By 11 Points In Gallup Daily ; 8 Points In DailyKos Poll

According to The Gallup Daily Tracking Poll for Monday, October 20th, Senator Barack Obama has a wide 11 point lead over Senator John McCain and has an eight point lead in the DailyKos daily tracking poll.

Gallup Daily: Obama Up 4 Points; Daily Kos Tracking: Obama Up By 10 Points

The war of poll methods can be seen in the major difference between Gallup and Daily Kos. Gallup Daily has Senator Obama ahead of Senator McCain by 4 points, 48 to 44. By contrast, Daily Kos has Obama with a 10 point lead 51 to 41. The Daily Kos poll is done by Research 2000 and uses Likely Voters. Since they tend to be Republican, that spells danger for McCain. But it must be noted, Gallup should be more transparent about their methods.
