Obama Leads in National Poll but...

Although Obama has 6% margin in recent polls...
Reports of a national poll conducted from July 31-August 4, interviewing over a thousand adults, places Obama predictably in the lead particularly with support from Women, African Americans, and voters under 34. Obama is also even to his rival in points of support from white men. Polls don't win elections however, they may influence perceptions. Electoral Votes ultimatley decide Presidential elections.
