Thanks, UL for the link above.
Perhaps Chum was correct when he said Michigan was close and a "swing vote" state. One poll has McCain leading in Michigan which is hard to believe. Rasmussen shows Obama with a decent lead there. Rasmussen's numbers are always based on three day averages. The other poll might reflect the response to the recent Palin interview?? Don't know why they are so different.
The two polls above show Florida squarely McCain land. Rasmussen has Florida tied...
But, the Quinnipiac U. poll was a 4 day poll...
The above polls show Ohio and Nevada basically tied. Those are must win states for McCain to have a chance. So is Florida.
I think that there has been a recent spike in votes towards McCain. But, Rasmussen is always a few days behind showing it because of the their three day rolling average rule.
