Not only are things looking better, and better for McCain in the national polls, but things are only getting better and better for McCain as it relates to the electoral math as well. At first glance blue team supports might have been glad to see that McCain has lost a point in the latest Gallup poll, but on closer inspection they would find that so did Obama – McCain’s lead remains 5 points: Gallup Daily: McCain 48%, Obama 43% Rasmussen has updated their electoral balance or power calculations and the news is all positive for McCain: Rasmussen Reports™: The most comprehensive public opinion coverage ever provided for a presidential election. Quote: NM – moves from leans Dem to toss-up - move away from Obama
ND – moves from leans GOP to likely GOP – move towards McCain
AK – moves from likely GOP to Safe GOP – move towards McCain | Also recently: Quote: | MT – moves from leans GOP to likely GOP – move towards McCain | Nearly every move in the electoral map as posted by Rasmussen have been in favor of McCain over the past two months. I will say that the current timing of the new state-by-state polls is favorable to McCain. Everyone seems to be redoing their state-by-state polls now (after both conventions have finished). But McCain seems to be still basking in his Palin/convention bounce, and this will be reflected in the state-by-state polls.
