PRINCETON, N.J., Sept. 7 (UPI) -- U.S. Republican presidential nominee John McCain has moved ahead of Democratic rival Barack Obama by 48 percent to 45 percent, a Gallup Poll indicated.

The poll, released Sunday, is based on interviews conducted Thursday through Saturday, Gallup said.

The poll indicates McCain earned a bounce following the Republican National Convention, much as Obama did after the Democratic convention the week before. However, Gallup said McCain's bounce happened more quickly.

The results are based on a telephone sampling of 2,765 registered voters. The margin of sampling error is plus or minus 2 percentage points.
