With +10 lead among likely voters, most if not all of the tossup states are in the McCain column. The Democrats could try to turn it around in the debates but its a tall order.

With +10 lead among likely voters, most if not all of the tossup states are in the McCain column. The Democrats could try to turn it around in the debates but its a tall order.

With a 10 point lead among likely voters nationally in the Gallup poll, McCain is now ahead in every one of these states (and a few others) and just pulled very slightly ahead in California. But if you go by the CNN poll, Michigan being even translates into about a six point lead nationally. Not yet enough for California, but enough for Pennsylvania and many other battleground states.
