A new wave of polls adds to the already very long list of polls released today:
- A new ARG poll finds him ahead by 5% in Florida (Obama led by 4% in a Quinnipiac poll released earlier today, and note that he had never led in a FL poll before today).
- Obama is also cruising in New Hampshire.
- BUT Rasmussen finds a tie in OH (Quinnipiac and PPP had found Obama ahead by 6-11 over the past two days).
Full roundup on Campaign Diaries.
The Florida poll is great news for Obama as they put to rest speculation that McCain has already put this state away. Republicans might still have an edge in the state (after all the party survived 2006 pretty well here, cruising to gubernatorial victory in an open seat) but McCain will definitely have to play defense in a state he really cannot afford to lose.
As an added bonus, ARG has polled the Senate race in NH and confirmed what we already knew: Shaheen is favored to beat Senator Sununu.
