New battleground polls from Quinnipiac University, washingtonpost.com, and The Wall Street Journal show Obama up in all 4 battleground states surveyed. Here's the results (margin of error was 2.6-2.7 points).
COLORADO: Obama 49 – McCain 45
MICHIGAN: Obama 48 - McCain 44
MINNESOTA: Obama 47 - McCain 45
WISCONSIN: Obama 49 - McCain 42
If Obama wins all these states he's ahead in- only Minnesota was within the margin of error- plus all of the ones that CNN predicts him to win, that would put him at 269 electoral votes. Just 1 shy of winning the presidency.
Also an ABC/Washington Post poll conducted on September 18-21 showed Obama up by 3 points; 49-46. This is huge news- Virginia is a really red state. The only time Virginia voted for a Democratic president since the 40's was when they voted to re-elect LBJ in '64, and that year LBJ won the highest percentage of the popular vote any candidate has won since 1820 (that record still stands- even Reagan couldn't beat it).
