Ok, this is a good poll - A reliable poll. One with a sample size of 1,019 registered voters and a margin of error of 3 pts.
The news:
Republican John McCain leads Democrat Barack Obama by two points (46 percent to 44 percent) in Arizona, a margin that makes the race too close to call, according to a new Cronkite/Eight Poll....
"The race in Arizona is very close. Supporters of both candidates are highly committed to their candidates, with 94 percent of Obama’s supporters and 93 percent of McCain’s supporters indicating that they are firmly committed and won’t change their mind before Election Day. In addition, the undecided vote is very low, which means that there are few people remaining to be persuaded during the last week of the campaign. Obama has been closing the gap by attracting independents and women to his campaign. McCain does well among conservative Democrats and evangelicals. Still, a week is a long time in a political campaign and anything can happen. Who wins will be determined by which candidate gets their supporters out to the polls on Election Day."

"While it is taken for granted that a presidential candidate will win his home state, that could be in doubt for AZ senator John McCain, according to the latest Cronkite poll ....which shows John McCain and Barack Obama in a dead heat here in Arizona."
NOT A DRY HEAT! A DEAD HEAT! It's still 90 degrees in October, but what we got is a dead heat here. Ah music to my ears....
Ok, time for dancing in the street - time for GOTV. I know, I know that the Obamba campaign wants me to be calling New Mexico...
But I am gonna do GOTV right here at home. I am taking off Monday and Tuesday, and volunteering on Sat and Sunday to GOTV!!!
