Not that I can think of. McCain is relatively close in Oregon, Michigan, Pennsylvania, but he's not running 10 points closer than Bush did in any state. Not even Arizona. “Are there any blue states where McCain is in this position?”

He was off on some states this primary, and point blank on with others in what was a very difficult year to poll. It's the Zogby interactive polls that aren't worth the electrons it takes to transmit across the internet. I don't know why he wastes his money doing them, they just make him and his outfit look bad.

That story is that the race is close but there is a large and growing lean to Obama. This trend is noted most easily in polls from states like Montana, Florida, Texas, Kansas, Alaska, Georgia or Oklahoma where Obama should be losing by 15 points or more. Are there any blue states where McCain is in this position? The big unknown in all these races is the undecided vote. How big is it and how will it split? The undecided vote and the MOE often total 10-20 points; enough to alter the results of most polls; so I still think it will be after the conventions before we start to see a true picture of where the race stands.
