The Gallup Daily Tracking Poll out today shows Gov. Mitt Romney moving out to a 6-point lead over President Barack Obama, 51%-45%. That’s a two-point increase from yesterday, when Romney led 50%-46%.

Gallup: Mitt 51, Obama 45 among likely voters. No candidate who cleared 50% of likely voters in Gallup in October or later has ever lost.

Gallup: Romney 51, Obama 45.Worth saying that no candidate, in the history of Gallup, has ever been above 50% this late and lost.

Fun Gallup tidbit – if undecideds break 2/3 to challenger, Romney would be up 53-46 w/ 1% 3rd party. Very similar to 2008 margin flipped.
