Dow down, polls up

The past week's economic crisis has shown a flip in the polls, with Obama re-emerging on top. The numbers in the electoral votes are even more impressive than the popular vote (+4%). The very useful electoral tracking site, FiveThirtyEight.com has the electoral split today as 311.5 to 226.5. Just a few days ago, McCain actually was ahead.

This reflects Nevada, Ohio and Virginia moving into the "leaning Democratic" column, Michigan and Colorado leaning more strongly Democratic than before, and Florida moving from solidly Republican to "leaning Republican."

Looking good !!
