Latest Poll Figures

Hey, ya'll! According to the latest poll from Quinnipiac University, Obama's ahead in four key battleground states: Colorado, Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. On Yahoo! News Political Dashboard, Barack is ahead of McCain as well. The RCP (Real Clear Politics) National Average is: Obama-- 48.3%; McCain-- 45.3%. Finally, the two candidates are tied on the Dashboard Scenario Map, with 250 electoral votes each. (270 are needed to win the presidency.) My hunch is that Barack will win the four states listed above. I read one Politico editorial today that claims he is even gaining in Florida. I also think that he can win Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia, and West Virginia. I do the Create-Your-Own Scenario almost daily on the map and always come up with a final electoral vote count of 311 for Obama and 227 for McCain. We shall see!
