The race for the White House is getting a bit closer. The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows Barack Obama’s lead over John McCain down to a statistically insignificant single percentage point, 43% to 42%. Prior to today, Obama had enjoyed at least a four-point advantage every day since Hillary Clinton dropped out of the race over a month ago. This is the first time his support has fallen below the 45% level since May 31.

When "leaners" are included, Obama leads 47% to 45%. The presumptive Democratic nominee has been ahead with leaners every day since clinching the nomination on June 3 and his support has not been below 48% since June 5. While Obama’s numbers have slipped a bit in today’s report, McCain is at the high end of the range he has occupied for the past six weeks.
