Obama pulls yet another Kerry state into his Weak Obama category. This now pushes Obama’s official tally to 264 Electoral Votes, This once again marks Obama’s highest official number and margin over McCain since July 22nd. It is also the first time Obama’s lead over McCain is over 100 Electoral Votes since then.
This leaves only 8 Too Close To Call states - all of them Bush 2004 states.
There are also two very good polls in Virginia out today, with Suffolk University giving Obama a 51%-39% lead in the state while Survey USA gives Obama a 53%-43% lead in the state. This is on top of CNN’s 53%-44% poll out 5 days ago and Insider Advantage’s poll out 6 days ago showing a 6% lead.
The only polls holding Virginia back from probably being a full-fledged lean Obama state are Mason-Dixon and ARG, both of which, remarkably, have shown 3% McCain leads in the state in the past week. However, a majority of polling shows Obama gaining in the state, if not running away with it now.
