McCain - 50%
Obama - 40%
That’s a jump of 7 points since last month. And as anybody who follows polls knows, if you hit the 50% mark or drop below 40%, that’s a big deal.
The details…
The key to McCain’s rise is nearly doubling his lead among white voters. He now has a 56-35 advantage with [...]

I reported about his big push in Missouri, and now it appears as if he’s adding staff in the Hawkeye State too…which is a curious moves since Iowa has been leaning blue this entire election season.
From Des Moines Register…
Obama has 15 campaign offices open and staffed in Iowa, while McCain is still plotting where to [...]

McCain - 47
Obama - 44
A couple weeks ago it was SurveyUSA that showed McCain up by 7, yesterday it was Rasmussen that showed him up by 5 and today we have a spread of 3 from Public Policy Polling.
The common theme that runs through all 3 of these polls? McCain has Republicans locked up solid, [...]

Today, I shared a new poll that has McCain with a small lead in the Show-Me State. Now I find that Obama is making unprecedented moves to capture the most reliable general election bellwether in the past 100 years.
The word is that staff will increase from 50 to 150 volunteers in 30 field offices across [...]

With Leaners
McCain - 50%
Obama - 45%
Without Leaners
McCain - 47%
Obama - 42%
The two were basically tied in Rasmussen’s poll last month, while a poll from SurveyUSA showed McCain up by 7.
This month, it appears as if Republican support has solidified around McCain, but Obama’s base is still a bit mushy…
Including leaners, McCain is supported by 93% [...]

McCain - 50%
Obama - 43%
Obama lead by 2 last month, so McCain has a net 9 point gain in a fairly short period of time. Could this be Clinton voters switching?
McCain has opened up a very wide gap of 24 points among men, which make up 46% of the voters in the survey. Obama only [...]

I don’t watch really like the show so I never care who wins, but this is a hometown boy we’re talking about here so some props are in order for the guy who won the second most popular election in 2008.
Seriously, check out these numbers…
A record 97 million votes were cast overall, 23 million more [...]

Congressman Sam Graves (R-MO 6th) really shouldn’t have approved this message…

As noted elsewhere, this almost seems like a parody of a Republican ad.
(h/t: Ambinder)

That’s right. It’s not needed and never has been
Folks, this will be sold as “don’t let illegal immigrants vote”, but that’s not the goal. Republicans are pushing it so fewer people will get to vote.
The battle over voting rights will expand this week as lawmakers in Missouri are expected to support a proposed constitutional [...]

It had been “too earlier to call.”
They also likened it to Missouri.
And we all remember what happened in Missouri…
I’m calling it for Obama. Yeah, that’s right, ME!!!
Here’s why…if you look at the counties who haven’t reported all their votes yet they’re all going to go for Obama.
I honestly can’t believe he pulled this one [...]

“If I had to make a prediction right now, I’d say Barack Obama is going to be the next president. I will be stunned if he’s not the next president of the United States.”
- Missouri’s 5th district congressman, and Hillary-backer, Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO)
Maybe this is his way of supporting Obama without supporting him?

I’m calling it for Obama. Yeah, that’s right, ME!!!
Here’s why…if you look at the counties who haven’t reported all their votes yet they’re all going to go for Obama.
I honestly can’t believe he pulled this one out, but he did.
Take that Reuters!
UPDATE:
HA! Drudge just switched Missouri to Obama.
So it must be right…
UPDATE:
MSNBC called it [...]

Huckabee is trailing by 6,000 votes, so I doubt he’ll be able to catch up.
Great win for McCain if he can hold out.

I still think it’s too close to call, but maybe they know something I don’t.
Still, with the race at essentially 50% to 48%, they’ll probably split the delegates pretty evenly.

On the Dem side, with 87% reporting, Hillary has 50% while Obama has 47%. You can bet the votes from the big cities are starting to come in, specifically St. Louis, which has a built in advantage for Obama since it’s so close to Illinois. Kansas City is expected to go for Hillary, but that [...]

Is it New Hampshire all over again?
In California, which alone provides more than one-fifth of the Democratic delegates needed for the nomination, Obama led Clinton by 49 percent to 36 percent, the poll found. The margin of error was 3.3 percentage points.
Clinton pulled into a 5-point lead in New Jersey, 46 percent to 41 percent, [...]
