A WISC-TV poll of likely voters shows Obama with a 10-point lead over Republican John McCain. The poll done by Research 2000 on Sunday and Monday showed Obama with 51 percent and McCain with 41 percent.

The last time Obama had a lead that large was in July when he was up by 11 percentage points.

This latest poll was done in the wake of turmoil on Wall Street and the passage of a $700 billion emergency economic bailout bill in Congress.

A majority of survey respondents, 57 percent, say they think Obama is better able to handle the economy than McCain.

The new poll shows only 4 percent of the 600 people polled were undecided. The margin of error is plus or minus 4 percentage points.

A Rasmussen Reports poll gave 54 percent of the vote to Obama and 44 percent to McCain. The telephone poll of 700 likely voters was done on Monday and had a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.

A SurveyUSA poll gave 52 percent of the vote to Obama, compared to 42 percent for McCain. The survey of 672 likely voters, conducted on Sunday and Monday and paid for by several television stations including WGBA-TV of Green Bay, had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.9 percent.
