NBC/WSJ Poll Is Good News For Obama

Excellent news for Barack Obama in a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll released yesterday:
General Election/All Voters
Barack Obama 47%
John McCain 41%

Women
Barack Obama 52%
John McCain 33%

Hispanics
Barack Obama 62%
John McCain 28%

Blue Collar Workers
Barack Obama 47%
John McCain 41%
Those specific demographic numbers weren't supposed to be so good for Obama according to the old Clinton campaign, but those groups have stayed with the Democratic nominee against John McCain. The hispanic and women numbers alone would put Obama in the White House.

Here is how the electoral map would look:



Obama: 329 electoral votes
McCain: 209 electoral votes
(270 needed to win)

All in all, this is a pretty nice post-primary bounce for Sen. Obama.
