Sorry for the lousy nature of the diary, but this is all the info I have, per The Page. But I was just so excited that I couldn't help myself.
UPDATE:
http://apnews.myway.com//article/200...
AP now has Obama up by 7, 48-41% in a national poll.
Barack Obama has surged to a seven-point lead over John McCain one month before the presidential election, lifted by voters who think the Democrat is better suited to lead the nation through its sudden financial crisis, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll that underscores the mounting concerns of some McCain backers.
Likely voters now back Obama 48-41 percent over McCain, a dramatic shift from an AP-GfK survey that gave the Republican a slight edge nearly three weeks ago, before Wall Street collapsed and sent ripples across worldwide markets. On top of that, unrelated surveys show Obama beating McCain in Ohio, Florida and Pennsylvania - three states critical in the state-by-state battle for the presidency.
This confirms what we've been seeing in FL, MN, and NV. But look at those Virginia numbers! And hell, they even have Obama ahead by a point in Missouri of all places. This year it might actually be a swing state. We still have a month to go, but this is a great place to be for now...
If anyone can add more information as it becomes available, that would be great. I will if I get the chance, but I'm at work, so I can't promise anything.
UPDATE 2:
I forgot my favorite part of the AP article:
Several GOP strategists close to McCain's campaign privately fret that his chances for victory are starting to slip away.
UPDATE 3:
Here is the CNN article:
http://www.cnn.com/...
A new CNN poll of polls in Florida, also out Wednesday, has Obama leading McCain by five points. The CNN poll of polls is an average of the new CNN poll and other new state polls.
UPDATE 4 (THANKS TO AtomikNY):
A great look at those same battleground polls including 3rd party candidates. Obama does even better. Thanks for sharing that AtomikNY, great find!

UPDATE 5:
My first recommended diary! Thanks guys! To quote Roseanne Conner's mother: "It's too bad we don't have some sort of flavored coffee to celebrate this moment in our lives!"
But seriously, these are exciting numbers and exciting times. I want Obama's wave of blue to wipe out McCain from one coast to the other!
FINAL UPDATE:
I love satire...
