What do all these polls of “Battleground States on RCP have in common?
Battleground States — Obama — McCain — Spread
Colorado-—————— 45.2 — 44.8 —NObama +0.4
Nevada——————— 44.3 — 45.3 —McCain +1.0
Michigan-—————— 45.3 — 42.0 —NObama +3.3
Ohio———————— 44.0 — 44.6 —McCain +0.6
Pennsylvania-———— 47.4 — 42.4 —NObama +5.0
Florida-—————— 43.2 — 46.3 —McCain +3.1
ANSWER: All except Nevada were taken before Palin’s speech, -——and in most cases, before her selection.
I just saw a new MI poll that has that state essentially tied. Based on the last two elections, MI runs about 6 points more Democratic than the national average. And if McCain is now tied in Michigan, this means that he is now very slightly ahead in Pennsylvania as well, and slightly more comfortably ahead in Colorado, Nevada, Ohio, New Mexico, and Florida.
That’s a beautiful thought.
