And I believe that's based on rolling averages, not simply reports of the latest poll. This probably means that folks were already starting to swing toward Obama. Most likely due to the bad econ news pushing folks away from the candidate of the party seen as more cozy with Wall Street. Check out that map, and not only does it show Obama with new strength based on the "no toss up numbers," it also shows McCain with troublingly small margins in states he absolutely must have: Ohio and Florida.
