Why people should be worried about the polls
AMERICAblog News| A great nation deserves the truth — ... I ask you to think back a year ago. Imagine if someone had told you that the most charismatic Democratic speaker in a decade would be in a dead-heat with a Republican has-been corrupt waffler - you would have laughed in their face. After eight years of George Bush? No way, people are fed up - that'll never happen. Well, that's the reality today. This race is a dead heat and is up for grabs both in the national polls as well as in key states like Ohio, Florida, Missouri, etc. Face reality folks - something isn't working. While some say ignore the ...

Paul Jenkins: Obama and Democrats Fighting Hard on GOP Turf
Politics on HuffingtonPost.com — ... 10 states most likely to switch from one party to another since 2004, according to current polling, are all states won by Bush four years ago. Two of those, Iowa and New Mexico, are all but certain to be won by Obama, who leads there by wide margins. The other eight most likely to switch are all too close to call and include such shockers as Indiana (Bush won by 21%), North Carolina (Bush by 12%), Virginia (Bush by 8%) and Missouri (Bush by 7%). Practically, this means that Obama has far more paths ...

OVER?!?!? NOTHING's Over Until We Decide It Is
The Jawa Report — ... and Missouri , as well. A mere TEN DAYS AGO, the polls were a DEAD HEAT in most of the swing states, and no one was calling for McCain to fire his entire staff and completely change his entire campaign strategy. DEAD HEAT. TEN DAYS AGO. There are still TWENTY-TWO DAYS left between now and election day. That's an ETERNITY in presidential politics, and the numbers appear to be turning in McCain's direction in key states. I'm all for sharing constructive criticism with the McCain Team, but all this whining and defeatism is driving me nuts. I don't know about y'all, but I'm with ...

McCain Plugs Mortgage Plan in Kansas City Star Op-Ed
News — ... bailed out the two lenders in early September. The paper's Kansas City, Mo. audience includes many Missourians in one of three Democratic areas of the battleground state: Kansas City, along with Jefferson City and St. Louis City, typically vote Democratic while the rest of the state votes heavily Republican. The dense population of those three areas means Missouri is often a toss-up in state-wide races. McCain is locked in a statistical tie with Obama in Missouri according to recent polls , while surveys in other battleground states have favored Obama of late.

Poll Dancing
QandO — ... even if the polls are deviating significantly from the on-the-ground reality of this election (and consummate poll-watcher, Michael Barone, doesn’t think they are that far off), that does not mean that McCain is actually ahead, nor that he doesn’t have serious work to do if he expects to win on Nov. 4. My best guess is that he’s still behind Obama in the key battleground states, although it is probably only by a point or two in places like Virginia and Missouri, and he may even have a lead in Florida and North Carolina ...

Pretending PA Is In Play
TalkLeft — ... Fast Eddie Rendell. One assumes Rendell wants his state (or himself) to keep receiving candidate love for the next 10 days. Can't blame him for that. Of course, Pennsylvania is NOT even remotely in play. Q Poll has Obama by 13 in the Keystone State. Morning Call has Obama by 10. Susquehanna has Obama by 8. Hell, at this point, it seems a stretch to argue Virginia is in play. It is possible McCain can come back in North Carolina, salvage Missouri and skate through in Florida. But I tell you where McCain will not win - ...

Early Morning Voting in a Bellwether State
The Moderate Voice — ... at picking Presidents during the last 100 years, except 1956, and it promises a razor-thin margin for the eventual victor this year. In the last three Missouri polls before the election — one each from FOX News/Rasmussen, Reuters/Zogby, and SurveyUSA — Obama and McCain were dead even at either 49-49 or 48-48. I don’t expect the nation to be as closely split as our bellwether state, but if it is, this could be a very long night indeed. ...
