The poll shows Obama up 50-45 in Ohio! Anyway, I've seen this trend in SurveyUSA polls. Among those in a state who already voted, Obama has huge leads, which tells me that we are doing well to get young voters and blacks out to the polls. :woohoo:

1. This means that on election day
McCain would have to win the rest of the voters by 2.6%. Unlikely, id say.

4. For early voting? It's pretty sizable.

And if 12% more people vote prior to election day, we're looking at 24% of the voters who have already voted before election day.

5. Too late.
I already took down all my Obama signs and got a campaign donation refund.

Whoops.

Oh well. There's always 2012.

8. That is too small a sample size to mean much. 12% of 575 is 69 voters already voted. That means
Obama is ahead 39 votes to 30 votes. Flipping just five voters would mean McCain is ahead.

Way too small a sample to tell us much...but I'm still glad it shows Barack doing well.
