Rasmussen: Obama's Slender Lead

A new Rasumussen Reports poll of 3,000 likely voters in the presidential race shows Barack Obama at 50 percent, John McCain at 46 percent. The spread is within a point of the poll's margin of error.

It's the second poll released today that shows the presidential race likely is a dead heat. Unlike other polls taken of all voters (as opposed to just likely voters), these two polls indicate Obama has yet to "close the deal" with voters and McCain has gained in recent days.
