WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Democrat Barack Obama has opened a 7-point lead over Republican rival John McCain with five days left in the race for the White House, according to a Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby poll released on Thursday.
Obama leads McCain by 50 percent to 43 percent among likely voters in the three-day national tracking poll, building on his 5-point advantage on Wednesday. The telephone poll has a margin of error of 2.9 percentage points.
It was the second consecutive day Obama's lead has grown as the two-year presidential battle draws to a close. McCain is struggling to overtake Obama's lead in every national opinion poll and in many battleground states.
"This is not good news for McCain. The race was tightening for a few days but now it is going back the other way," pollster John Zogby said.

Well,
Here we go with the magical Obama infomercial bounce. Not surprised in the least.
Good old flippy Zogby.
Zogby is a bozo. If Obaba ain’t over 50 he is toast.
lol this is a joke.. One day this polls had Obama up 12 then a few days later up only 3 or 4 now back up to 7? come on..
Jean Zogby pulls these #’s out of his ass.
ROTFLMAO! Zogby is Arabic for Obama’s polling service.
Told ‘ya... I said when it got to 12, Zogby would walk down the 0bama lead, then he’d widen it again, before moving in with his final number.
Since 2004, Zogby is dead to me!
LOL! Predictable infomercial bounce. Zogby is a joke. What complete laughable garbage.
Zogby polls during the daytime, so this has nothing to do with the infomercial. Zogby is walking the 0 lead back up after he walked it down.
12 to 4 to 7
Zogby is all over the map.
Has he ever been right?
He doesn’t have much more time to reduce those numbers now. just 4 days left.
Zogby continued to poll on ELECTION DAY in 2004.
Zogby’s been nipping at the medicinal brandy again, I see. He’s going to look like a prize plonker on Tuesday night ...
I don’t believe this for a minute.
It’s the ZOBAMA polling service LOL!!!
Obama up 5 among men? Sure...
“Zogby polls during the daytime, so this has nothing to do with the infomercial. Zogby is walking the 0 lead back up after he walked it down.”
Who said anything about his poll containing REAL data, from REAL people? LOL
