Ohio Is Now Obama Country
Recent polling has led pollsters to put swing state Ohio into the 'Leans Obama' column:
One other interesting note from TPM:Ohio seemed like a McCain state in September, but economic jitters and the final dissipation of McCain's convention bounce have now edged Obama into the lead in almost all of the recent polls:
• CNN: Obama 50%, McCain 47% (Oct 7)
• ABC/WaPo: Obama 51%, McCain 45% (Oct 6)
• Rasmussen: McCain 48%, Obama 47% (Oct 6)
• Columbus Dispatch: Obama 49%, McCain 42% (Oct 5)
• GQR (D): Obama 49%, McCain 43% (Oct 1)
• Quinnipiac: Obama 50%, McCain 42% (Oct 1)
The internals from the ABC/WaPo seem to disprove people who say Obama's candidacy is based on fluff. Among those respondents who say personal qualities are the most important, it's McCain who is winning by a 62%-34% margin. Those voters who say they're picking their candidate based on the issues are going to Obama 65%-30%.

Two Polls Show Obama Up by 10-12% in... Virginia!
I never thought I'd see the day when a Democrat could seriously contest Virginia:
As McCain's Lead Among White Virginians Shrinks, So Too His Chances of Holding The State's 13 Electoral Votes: 29 days until votes are counted in Virginia, Democrat Barack Obama is ahead 53% to 43%, according to this SurveyUSA poll conducted exclusively for WDBJ-TV in Roanoke, WJLA-TV in Washington DC, WTVR-TV in Richmond, and WJHL-TV in the Tri-Cities. In 4 tracking polls conducted since the Republican Convention, McCain has gone from up by 2 to down by 10.
Update: Another poll confirms it:
A Suffolk Poll shows Obama with a similarly commanding lead in the state, 51% to 39%.
