Tonight's States of the Race

Mmmm, yummy! TPM Election Central has some lovely new state polls for us to munch on!

Insider Advantage:

Ohio-
Obama (D) 47%
McCain (R) 45%

Virginia-
Obama (D) 51%
McCain (R) 45%

Muhlenberg:

Pennsylvania-
Obama (D) 49%
McCain (R) 41%

The bad news: Where?

The good news: Finally, Obama takes the lead in Ohio again! Is he finally breaking the near-tie here? Meanwhile, Obama seems to be pulling away in Virginia and Pennsylvania. This is simply breathtaking, as Pennsylvania was nearing a tie only three weeks ago while McCain once had an edge in Virginia.

Conclusion: The map is really improving for Obama now! Ohio still looks close, but Pennsylvania's showing more of a Democratic Lean... And even Virginia is starting to tilt our way now! If this map holds up, Obama will have an even easier path to 270 EVs! :-D
