wow....

[StrongBad]

1. Oh snap! Confirming the trend set by Quinnipiac!

I was skeptical of Quinnipiac but am no longer...

[livetohike]

2. Wow! Look at VA!

It's as much good news as the Quinnipiac poll in PA today :-).

GOBAMA!

[gcomeau]

22. It's *better* news than PA.

We're supposed to grab Pennsylvania. Virginia wasn't supposed to be terribly competitive. If we take Virginia it is OVER, and a 9 point margin says we're probably taking it.

[torbird]

32. 9? really???

That has to be a typo. It's too craaaaazy to believe (but I'll take it!).

[gmudem]

3. Guess Quinnipiac isn't an outlier

Man I love these numbers. Obama is looking absolutely golden right now.

[grantcart]

16. No they are very accurate in the state polls that are in their back yard

Not sure about Florida but the rest should be ok

[deadparrot]

4. Yay Missouri!

It's always nice to see my home state flip.

[jefferson_dem]

9. MO: The Bellwether of Bellwethers.

Would love to turn MO blue! Go Claire! The most excellent Obama surrogate out there!

[SuperTrouper]

26. I absolutely adore Claire! She has been a great Obama surrogate!

[jillmt]

27. Wooohoo!

Let's keep it up, and make Missouri bleed blue!

(as much as I can't stand that Blues ad line, I like it in this case ;) )

[deadparrot]

29. What can I say? I'm a masochist.

Welcome to DU, by the way! :hi:

[TheKentuckian]

5. We're catching the wind now!!!

Let's jump on their chests with both feet and put them away forever!

Bring them down!!!

[WeDidIt]

6. Barack Obama May have Just ROPED THE DOPE!

:evilgrin:

[VolcanoJen]

7. Holy shizz!!!!!!!!!

I swear before this day is over I might just explode in giddy glee!!!!!!!

[PM7nj]

8. Holy Shit!

[WI_DEM]

10. Yet another poll showing Obama up in Florida and look at Missouri!

[4_Legs_Good]

11. About freaking time we got another MN poll! I'm sick of having it "Undecided"

Give me a break. Like Minnnesota is going to go Republican. Let's get that map fixed up now.

And what about Wisconsin! That's gotta be solidly in our corner too. How about a poll to confirm it.

12. Starting to believe in...

.......a landslide (whisper)

[apnu]

13. Dear God, he's got momentum in MO. Its over for McCain. (nt)

[grantcart]

14. only IN and Ohio are left to get Obama to 350

[dchill]

15. McCain is going to HAVE to do better than that...

to get it close enough to steal. Looks like it might be Ohio again - Obama +2 in the RCP average.

I hope Obama has plenty of lawyers on location, and that he uses them if needed.

[thereismore]

17. Hitting 50's most everywhere. Good God, I can see it now! nt

[alcibiades_mystery]

18. Ouchies...

:rofl:

[TheDonkey]

19. +9 in VA. LOVE IT!!!

[VolcanoJen]

20. The historical data probably has McCain staffers' heads exploding

Loved this tidbit:

http://www.time.com/time/politics/article/0,8599,1846065,00.html

For McCain, the most troubling sign may come not from the details of the poll, which are grim for Republicans, but from the historical context. No Democrat has crossed the 50% threshold in the general election since before Ronald Reagan was elected, let alone do so a month before the election.

[SuperTrouper]

28. NOW we know why McCain was grumpy and seething in Iowa with the DMR

he is sinking faster than the Titanic

[JaneQPublic]

21. This on top of this morning's Quinnipiac poll of FL. OH, & PA...

...makes me think this election ain't even gonna be close enough to steal!

[GobamaX]

23. I knew it

The Quinnipiac wasn't an outlier, and the CNN/TIME poll proves it.

[Cosmic Charlie]

24. He's gonna be.....Our Sledgehammer!!

Gobama!!!!!!

[Thrill]

25. WOW

[budkin]

30. We're close but still have tons of work to do!!!

[Tribetime]

31. Virginia amazing!!!!

[Schulzz]

33. Did McBaghdadBob comment these polls yet?

Great news, all of them. Best polling day EVER.

[Perky]

34. Damn You beat me to it,

I think we are both Polling Savants, HA

[Hope And Change]

35. Yay...K & R!!
