More Polls Find Obama Vaulting Ahead In Key Battlegrounds
By Eric Kleefeld - October 1, 2008, 4:35PM



Wow. Hours after a set of polls showed Obama gaining in key battlegrounds, another batch of polls from CNN finds additional confirmation that the economic crisis has put Obama way up in other ones:

• Florida: Obama 51%, McCain 47%, with a ±3.5% margin of error.

• Minnesota: Obama 54%, McCain 43%, with a ±3.5% margin of error.

• Missouri: Obama 49%, McCain 48%, with a ±3.5% margin of error.

• Nevada: Obama 51%, McCain 47%, with a ±4% margin of error.

• Virginia: Obama 53%, McCain 44%, with a ±4% margin of error.

Four of these states were won by George W. Bush twice, with Minnesota being the only exception. All totaled, those four red states add up to 56 electoral votes -- and John McCain can barely afford to lose even one electoral vote from the Republican column.

Also, CNN has changed their map to favor Obama a little bit more -- Minnesota has moved from Toss-Up to Leans Obama, and Missouri from Leans McCain to Toss-Up.

I have to wonder what big "game changer" of a gamble McCain will take next. He has impressed me as someone who will risk anything and everything to win.

They were saying on TV news, we have not reached a tipping point yet.

Breaking News: Tipping point reached.

:D

Just wonderful.. Great Numbers..

Until now :P

if he's up in MO this is landslide territory.

McCain's stunts over the last couple of weeks have caught up with him. People think he's erratic and unstable now.

Yay for Missouri! I was so glad when Claire won Missouri - so tired of living in a so-called red state, though it's really a swing state.

Really hoping he stays up here.
