A Halloween Day poll shows John McCain trailing Barack Obama by one point in the “toss-up” states that could decide Tuesday’s presidential election.

The George Washington University Battleground Poll gives Obama and running mate Joe Biden 47 percent, with 46 percent for McCain and running mate Sarah Palin in those states and 4 percent undecided.

The campaigns are focusing advertising and visits in those battleground states. California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger will appear with McCain on Friday in Columbus, Ohio. McCain and Palin also have stops planned over the next few days in Florida, Virginia, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Iowa.

The Democratic ticket has rallies planed for Ohio, Nevada, Colorado, Indiana and Iowa, including Friday rallies in Ohio with Obama and U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton.

The Obama-Biden lead overall in the GWU poll was 48 percent to 45 percent. The survey was released Oct. 31 and questioned 1,000 voters.

That’s going to leave a mark.. 4% undecided. Leaves 3% voting for others?
