(CNN) - Sen. Barack Obama has his largest lead so far over rival Sen. John McCain, according to CNN’s latest national poll of polls.
Obama leads McCain by nine points in the poll of polls released Tuesday – 51 percent to 42 percent. Seven percent of those surveyed are unsure about their choice for president.
In Monday’s CNN’s poll of polls, Obama’s lead over McCain was seven points – 51 percent to 44 percent.
“Today’s Poll of Polls average reflects the fact that Obama has moved into a commanding position in the presidential race,” said CNN Senior Political Researcher Alan Silverleib. “Obama is either tied or ahead in all of the battleground states. The Democrats now have what may be a decisive edge in terms of voter enthusiasm and financial resources. The financial meltdown has played to Obama’s advantage. By most measurements, McCain was not able to use the debates to gain ground on Obama. And most of the campaign is now being waged in previously red states. While anything can happen in the remaining two weeks, it’s hard not to conclude that McCain’s back is against the wall.”
Tuesday’s CNN poll of polls is composed of the following six national general election surveys of likely voters: Pew (October 16-19), CNN/ORC (October 17-19), ABC/Washington Post (October 16-19), Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby (October 18-20), Gallup (October 18-20) and Diageo/Hotline (October 18-20). The poll of polls does not have a sampling error.

Obama/Biden 08
Do you suppose that anyone will mention the poll taken of military people, all branches and that they were 64% in favor of McCain...I doubt you will see this on CNN
Here's to a widening lead!
I so wish that Sen. Obama could take the time he needs to be with his grandmother, not just the two days. But don't worry, Senator - we've got your back and we'll keep up the momentum, and Sen. Biden will keep up the Joe-mentum!
BARACK ON!
That's good news.
Wait – I thought McCain was SURGING and the race was TIGHTENING?? Oh, that's right. That only fit your narrative for that day. Must suck when the real numbers say something completely different. lololol
Ahhhhhh the mainstream press. So 'funny'.
The closer we get to November 4th, the greater the divide! The final numbers are going to be 15-20% more votes for Obama!!!!
As a US Navy leader–I'm sure McCain is suffering from being pulled under by the "boat anchor" around his neck–namely Sarah Palin and George Bush.
Repeat from yesterday's posting, but all of you should really consider the message in this: ...I know I DON'T want to break my back bringing in hard earned money only to have the wealth spread around and my money goes to some lazy bum down the street who will just abuse the system and never gets off hs/her duff to get a job!!! And do you not think that if taxes are only going to be raised on the rich and corporations, that prices we pay as consumers will also rise, and so yes….the little tax payer guys like us are the ones where the money will come from. I am voting McCain/Palin as I say NO to Obama's socialism/marxism or whatever it is he's spewing.
It will be an honor to refer to Senator Obama as "Mr. President" post Election Day.
Good nite its over Mccain!!
Come on Obama-bots. Let's make this victory by double digits–a mandate by the American voter! VOTE NOW, VOTE OBAMA!!!
Way to GO!...........Obama.
Wise up GOP, the people don't like negative campaigns and lies.
I was terribly offended by the phone messages you left on my phone this weekend, lies, lies, lies. How many ways do you have to be told that being on a charity board together doesn't equate "palling around with"
YES WE CAN!
Just as it should be!
People please......
John McCain has Obama right where he wants him.
CNN Please post this as i heard it on Larry King last night.
One Republican actually said if things stay as they are now, Obama takes Iowa and New Mexico, but McCain wins New Hampshire (which he is down 10 points in), McCain will win the presidency?
I was hoping he would explain exactly what math he used to figure that out, but he never did.
I loooove Republican Math.
So McCain's nasty and devisive phone calls and stump speeches have done him no good.
Wow- the MSM is going to have egg on their faces on 11/4. I can't wait to hear the sputtering excuses for why the polling was so wrong and McCain won.
people are starting to know Obama is our next pres.its a fact
This is GREAT NEWS for Joe the fake plumber. Now he and McCain can tour the 'Pro America' parts of the country to pitch fork... I mean pitch their fake economic message as McCain numbers tank!
Horse race for the media and real clear path for the future of this wonderful rich country. VOTE WISELY!
