Results from the first ever Big Ten Battleground Poll revealed Thursday just how close the presidential race is in the eight states with Big Ten schools.

The poll, conducted by UW-Madison professors of political science Charles Franklin and Ken Goldstein, is a rare regional poll conducted on 600 individuals from each of the Big Ten states.

In a 90-minute show on the Big Ten Network, Franklin, Goldstein and other scholars from the Big Ten universities gave a run-down of each state’s results.

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has a less than 1-point lead of 45.2 to 43.3 over Republican presidential candidate John McCain in Wisconsin and holds a 16-point lead in Illinois, which is his only sure win, according to the poll.

Results show Obama also has a narrow lead in Michigan, Minnesota and Ohio, and McCain is winning by a close margin in Indiana, Iowa and Pennsylvania. All of them are toss-up states.

However, according to a statement, the poll has a margin of error of three percentage points.

6. Does anyone now reliable this pollster is?

These are their first polls I have seen in this election. Do they have a good reputation?

The results are great of course. If they are right, we will have a landslide.

8. This is the first year polling, but their Sept. results showed McCain leading in 3 of the states

and tight races in all but Illinois.

13. RCP has included them in their average now. So they are probably better than ARG, at least.

:P

11. Wow

Whatcha guys think? Other than a positive trend, I'm guessing it's outier..?

[Hope And Change]

14. K & R!

The poll also included a nationally representative sample of 1,014 respondents, with a margin of error of 3.1 percentage points. That survey shows Obama with a 9-point margin over McCain, 52 percent to 43 percent.

15. The polling numbers this morning, between this and the Q polls, seem insanely good for Obama.

I don't know quite how to take it - I'm running into the "too good to be true" ingrained skepticism all Democrats have internalized.

Obama has proven he also holds this Democratic trait - "Don't underestimate our ability to screw it up."

16. Wow! those are amazing numbers--almost hard to believe, but I want to!

[RichGirl]

17. With Evan Bayh and David Letterman in Indiana.....I'm not surprised.

20. And Mellencamp is doing radio spots too! n/t

[alwysdrunk]

18. Too good to be true

I don't buy it. Especially that Ohio number. That is so off that I look at the entire poll skeptically.

[Chiyo-chichi]

19. I hope it's true.

I'm in a blue part of Indiana, where the enthusiasm for Barack is palpable.

[matchstick]

21. WOW, thats unbelievable.

If true, it's awesome, but i doubt them for sure....

[grantcart]

24. kick

[Renew Deal]

25. I don't buy it.
