The poll of polls reveals Obama holding steady.
Colorado…

Florida…
An average of polls conducted in battleground Florida, shows Obama leading McCain by 4 points, 49% [...]

Obama - 51%
McCain - 46%
No movement today as Rasmussen is showing perhaps the most conservative lead for Obama in all of the daily trackers.
The numbers…
Now, however, Obama is now viewed favorably by 55% of voters nationwide, McCain by 53%. Obama gets positive reviews from 88% of Democrats and 56% of unaffiliated voters. 90% of Republicans [...]

And he has a 13 point lead among likely voters.
The details…
(CBS) With just three days left until Election Day, a new CBS News poll finds that the Democratic presidential ticket of Barack Obama and Joe Biden leads its Republican counterpart by 13 points among likely voters, 54% to 41%. That margin reflects an increase of [...]

He was hilarious, but, as with Palin’s appearance, I can’t help but think that this doesn’t really help his chances.

Transcript after the jump…

A lot of people were buzzing about Eagleburger’s comments about Palin yesterday, and today he’s actually claiming that the statements were in the wrong context.
However, that’s not the story here. Of course Eagleburger was going to try this. But the degree to which Fox helped him do it is pretty remarkable.
Around minute 2:20 in the [...]

More trend lines from Pollster.com, and it looks like McCain will be able to hold onto this state barely.

Here’s Chuck Todd’s take…
Has this state really slipped into the toss-up category? Possibly. A few years ago, I asked a smart Democratic demographer which states could become competitive if the party could maximize voter registration and turnout [...]

Perhaps this one is less of a toss up than I first thought?

Chuck Todd has his take…
One of the better state Republican parties is right here in the Buckeye State; it’s why so many of us aren’t ready to count McCain out yet in Ohio. The Republican machine is a good one. The Democrats had [...]

Did I miss something, or did Cheney just now endorse McCain?

An excerpt…
John is a man who understands the danger facing America. He’s a man who has looked into the face of evil and not flinched. He’s a man who’s comfortable with responsibility and has been since he joined the armed forces at the age of [...]

Here are the “A” states…

Alabama: While the state isn’t really in play on the presidential level, there are a couple of hot House races, including a very rare open Democratic seat in the 5th District. The 2nd District, an open Republican seat, is also competitive. The large turnout among African-Americans could give Democrats a sweep [...]

I’m not sure we needed a survey to figure out the following, but it’s intriguing nonetheless:
While 43 percent of [Barack] Obama’s backers said they are excited over the campaign, just 13 percent of [John] McCain’s said so, according to the survey of adults, conducted by Knowledge Networks. Six in 10 Obama supporters said the race [...]

We’re now at double digits in all models, and I think this is the first time we’ve seen this.
Not only that, Obama is at a solid 52% in every model as well.
Things are looking increasingly grim for McCain.

Registered Voters: Obama +11

Likely Voters (Expanded Model): Obama +10

Likely Voters (Traditional Model): Obama +10

Gallup explains how the [...]

Yes, North Dakota.

I don’t believe for a moment that Obama will win here, but if the turnout is incredibly high then it could be incredibly close.
Chuck Todd thinks so too…
The state has seen Democratic success in House and Senate races for years but that hasn’t trickled up for the presidential since ‘64. Could all that [...]

As Zogby is touting his one day results today, Chuck Todd shares some electoral realities…

And here’s more…

So yes, it’s not looking good for McCain right now. Especially if Virginia goes for Obama early in the evening.
More as it develops…

Obama - 51%
McCain - 46%
McCain loses one as the numbers look to be solidifying at right around a 4 or 5% lead for Obama.
Rasmussen talks about early voting and preference…
Nearly a third of voters say they have already cast their ballot and Obama leads by 9 among this group. Obama also has a similar lead [...]

One of the best breaks down Palin’s readiness and those rumors about Rahm…

By the way, in yet another awful sign for McCain, Obama is starting to advertise in Arizona, Georgia and North Dakota.

He has endorsed McCain for President, but when asked if Palin is ready, the former Secretary of State under George H.W. Bush said the following…
“Look, of course not. I don’t think at the moment she is prepared to take over the reins of the presidency. I can name for you any number of other vice [...]

If only…

Well, Palin still would have been a drag on the ticket, but filling people with “real” hope and positioning himself as the “real” change agent would have been so much more effective.
But instead, we got nonsense like this.
I think the biggest failing of McCain’s campaign is he never gave voters a reason to vote [...]

What’s more, Research 2000’s numbers are showing that McCain’s lead has shrunk to just 1 point.
Here are the numbers…
Total voters (600 likely voters)
McCain: 48%
Obama: 47%
Early voters (17% of sample)
Obama: 54%
McCain: 42%
Pretty intense.
If Obama can pick off McCain’s home state, then he may have a chance at locales like Montana, North Dakota and [...]

I’m sorry folks, but the following argument is RIDICULOUS and I can’t believe it’s coming out of the mouth of somebody so close to the presidency…much less the Governor of one of our states.
I mean…WTF?
Palin told WMAL-AM that her criticism of Obama’s associations, like those with 1960s radical Bill Ayers and the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, [...]

Writing for USA Today, Chuck Raasch sees a lot more uncertainty than usual in the electorate — not regarding who they’ll vote for but what they expect their vote to bring. Despite efforts to cast Barack Obama as a raging liberal and John McCain as a Bush clone, these guys aren’t that simple and all [...]
