Obama grabs healthy lead in Monday's Gallup Poll

By Yael T. Abouhalkah, Kansas City Star Editorial Page columnist

Barack Obama is coasting to victory next week. That's what Monday's Gallup Poll shows, as Obama holds a commanding 52-42 percent lead over John McCain among all voters.

Obama's margin, while smaller, is still quite encouraging among likely voters: 50-45 percent, or the same as in Sunday's poll.

That's eight straight days for Obama to be at or above the victorious 50-percent figure in the likely-voter poll.

For McCain, the news is monotonously bad.

He continues to trail Obama in all of Gallup's national polls, as he has for weeks. And McCain still trails in swing states as well, such as Missouri.

McCain's only hope is to stage miraculous, last-week rallies in states such as Missouri, Ohio, Michigan and Florida.

That's simply looking more and more unlikely.
