Obama vs. McCain Battleground Update - February 2008

[Josh/Devilman88]

Now that SurveyUSA and Rasmussen have released a package of new state polls, I decided to create a new map which includes the average of these polls.

Where Rasmussen and SUSA didn´t poll, I used the latest state poll - but not one that is older than 1 month.

Results for MO, OH and VA were within 2%, they are therefore toss-ups.

WV wasn´t polled by either Rasmussen or SUSA yet, but I think the state is close this year, therefore toss-up.

Also, there was no poll out of AR so far including Obama vs. McCain -> toss-up as well.

Bright blue and red are for states with no recent polls - but with historic leanings.

So this is the February 2008 map: 



Everything correct ?

Move NC to lean/toss-up and move SC, OK and MS to strong Republican and it is right.

SC, OK and MS are in light blue, which means that there have been no recent state polls - but they are still strongly Republican. As for NC, there has been no poll that has shown Obama within 3% of McCain.

Oh, SUSA and Ram. hasn't polled NC in a while too. The only one that has was PPP.
