First Tracking Polls of the Day Out

Rasmussen has released its numbers.

Obama 51
McCain 44

The race is even with the candidate's numbers from yesterday. Notes Rasmussen:

For each of the past eight days, Obama has been at 50% or 51% and McCain has been at 44% or 45%.

Research 2000/Daily Kos also shows the race steady with the same numbers it reported yesterday:

Obama 51
McCain 40

DemFromCT notes:

Today's trackers will have Tues-Thurs data and are the last of the pre-debate polls. They will not have included last night's event in St. Louis. Monday's polls will include Fri-Sat-Sun, all post-debate . . . On successive days in the R2K poll, Obama was up +9 Tues, +11 Wed and +12 Thurs(MoE +/- 5.1 for individual days.) Yesterday was the strongest single day Obama has had to date.
