Today's polling information

Pollster points out that McCain's job gets tougher by the day, and that statistically the election might already be over. There are fewer and fewer undecideds to win over, and over the past month they've been breaking heavily to the Obama camp.

So what do the numbers look like? For reeps, it's not pretty. DailyKos's R2k poll has Obama with an 11 point lead nationally, and yesterday's NY Times battleground polls had Obama ahead everywhere.

Florida: Obama 51-47 McCain
Missouri: Obama 49-48 McCain
Nevada: Obama 51-47 McCain
Virginia: Obama 53-44 McCain

And that's without counting New Mexico, Colorado and Iowa, all of which are solidly blue, meaning that Obama only needs to win one of the above to win the election (assuming he holds onto Kerry's states, which he probably will). Right now, Intrade has it as a Clinton vs. Dole-style blowout.

Now all we need is Johnny Mac to fall off a stage sometime in the next three weeks, and the transformation will be complete...
