Alright, so speaking in numbers, Barack's lead over McCain has been increasing steadily since mid-July. Early June, Obama led by a whopping eight points on average up until early August when the numbers began to plateau and the margin decreased by almost points after Obama's trip to Europe and the resulting McCain attacks.

Now, however, the lead has been regained by a solid three points and climbing as of today. The numbers continue to impress as Obama's grassroots campaign continues to connect with voters door-to-door. If this keeps up and no more major waves are made by Obama and his campaign managers, the road looks pretty clear for the senator.

If you want to keep up with the numbers (updated daily) check out the Rasmussen Reports:
