Today's States of the Race

Yowzer! We have ourselves some new national & state polls from ARG. Let's take a look at what they say is happening.

National-
Obama (D) 48%
McCain (R) 46%

Arkansas-
McCain (R) 53%
Obama (D) 41%

Massachusetts-
Obama (D) 55%
McCain (R) 39%

Oregon-
Obama (D) 52%
McCain (R) 41%

Pennsylvania-
Obama (D) 50%
McCain (R) 46%

Vermont-
Obama (D) 56%
McCain (R) 38%

Nationally, ARG shows a dramatic shift back to Obama. McCain was actually +3 in their last poll from last week, so the financial crisis is having an impact here as the conversation moves back to the economy and Obama regains his footing. But with the state polls, we don't see too many surprises. Obama's slightly ahead in Pennsylvania, still behind in Arkansas, and building a commanding lead in Oregon while also holding strong leads in Vermont and Massachusetts.

Overall, we're looking good. :-)
