Time/CNN polls swing states in the Midwest. The big prize first: Ohio, where Obama enjoys a very narrow lead.
Obama (D) 47
McCain (R) 45
With third-party candidates:
Obama (D) 45
McCain (R) 44
Nader (I) 5
Barr (L) 2
McKinney (G) 1
Let’s slide over to Minnesota, where the convention is not helping the Elephants:
Obama (D) 53
McCain (R) 41
Obama (D) 51
McCain (R) 37
Nader (I) 4
Barr (L) 2
McKinney (G) 1
The Third Partiers hurt McCain as much as Obama here. And that ol’ convention or whatever they’re holding in St. Paul, doesn’t appear to be attracting too many Minnesotans to the GOP.
Now on to the First Caucus State or Iowa, where Obama posts his best numbers yet:
Obama (D) 55
McCain (R) 40
Obama (D) 51
McCain (R) 38
Nader (I) 4
Barr (L) 3
McKinney (G) 2
The news is slightly better for McCain in North Carolina; at least he’s leading, if only by a bit. Per Democracy Corps / GQR:
McCain (R) 47
Obama (D) 44
A lead is a lead, but quite frankly, McCain ought to be concerned about such a small margin in North Carolina. With a little luck, a good voter-registration drive, and a good ground game, Obama might be able to pick off the state and its 15 electoral votes…something even Bill Clinton could not do in two electoral-college landslides.
Finally, good news for Obama from New Mexico, or at least one third of New Mexico. He’s up big in the First District, where Kerry won 51-48:
Obama (D) 55
McCain (R) 41
If Obama actually does win the First District with 55% (he ought to lose the Second District, but win the Third District with an even bigger margin), he will win New Mexico going away.
Thanks – good trending. The American people will make their choice on issues and when they do, the Republicans will come out on the short end.
Just a little prediction. I think people are totally fed up with what’s happened over the last 8 years. It really doesn’t matter who the Republican candidates are – people feel really beaten up and want change. John McSame just offers “more of same”…..and most importantly, more wars. Lots of parents are really looking at that issue.
You’re welcome. 😉
Issues are important but morals & values are as well too when we are electing the leaders of our country.
