After a few days of McCain’s gamble on negative ads, Barack Obama has been creeping steadily upwards in polling.

So let us note that while Gallup has Obama ahead by 6 points amongst registered voters , Pew's survey only has Obama up by 3 points and shows that McCain is consolidating support amongst members of the Republican base. And while Obama leads by eight points amongst registered voters in Pennsylvania , the lead shrinks to merely five when likely voters are surveyed.
