Washington D.C. 11/03/2008 07:47 PM GMT (FINDITT)

Obama’s lead is down from 52-43 last week, an indication that undecided voters might be moving toward John McCain. Nonetheless Obama is holding strong over the 50% mark.

Obama is winning more Republican voters (13%) than McCain is Democratic voters (9%). Obama is also holding a slight lead with independents, 49-47.

Obama has held tight at 42% of the white vote since last week. McCain’s share has increased from 53% to 56%. That’s not going to be good enough for him given the 20% black portion of the electorate, and Obama’s 91-9 lead within that group.

“Virginia has really become a firewall for Barack Obama,” said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. “Even if he ends up losing in places like Florida and Ohio, it still seems pretty certain that he’ll win here, and there aren’t a lot of scenarios where he wins Virginia and doesn’t take the Presidency along with him.”

3. PA, VA and CO are Obama's firewalls.

McCain would have to win PA or BOTH CO and VA to win, along with every toss-up state.

He will lose all three.

4. If that holds, it will be an early night!

5. So, Obama is +6 with just 2% undecided. At worst he wins VA by 4 points.

Congratulations GOP, you have given birth to a FAIL.
