THE DAILY POLL FIX: Recap Of Today's Polls and The State of the Race
Here are the polls out for today
I'm not going to be paying any attention to RCP's average for the national race because they have a selective way of choosing the polls to include that I find bullshit, so instead I've created my own average to accompany Pollster's, which is also behind on their reporting
National Polls
Kos/R2K: Obama 52(unchanged), McCain 41(+1)
LA Times: Obama 50(+1), McCain 41(-4)
CBS/NYTimes: Obama 53(+5), McCain 39(-6)
Gallup*: Obama 51 (unchanged), McCain 42(+1)

Zogby: Obama 49(+1), McCain 43(-1)
IBD/TIPP: Obama 45, McCain 43
ARG: Obama 50(+1), McCain 45(unchanged)
HNMNF Average: Obama 50.8(+.8), McCain 41.5(-.7)

Gallup has gone with a couple new formats to measure voter support, but I'm sticking with the original format.

My Electoral Map
I am moving North Dakota to tossup because of the recent forum poll showing Obama up 2. I am also moving Wisconsin to solid Obama based on three polls showing him with a ten point lead and the Q-poll with him up 17.
