Three New Polls and a Map

Note that these polls do not include samples from last night, so the numbers do not reflect any post-debate movement:

Rasmussen:
Obama 50%
McCain 44%

DailyKos/Research 2000:
Obama 49%
McCain 43%

Gallup:
Obama 49%
McCain 44%

And if last night's "insta-polls" are any indication, McCain's numbers aren't going to improve as we head into the weekend.

Meanwhile, state-by-state polling seemed to come in line with the national numbers. The current Electoral College map would look something like this if the election were held today:


Obama 307
McCain 231
(270 needed to win)

Obama got some really good numbers this week out of several polls in Virginia and North Carolina. He'll need to hold on to one of those states (preferably both) on Election Day if Ohio is to remain out of his grasp.

All in all, things look really good with a little more than a month to go.
