Keeping up on the Presidential race!

While no states changed classifications over the past week, the race continues to tighten in the Electoral College as 13 of the 16 states with new polls showed movement towards McCain. Among the most important is Ohio (20 EV), which went from dead even last week to a three-point McCain lead this week, just on the cusp of moving out of toss-up territory. In Colorado (9 EV), another key battleground state, McCain further narrowed Obama’s edge to just a point. McCain also solidified his lead in Missouri (11 EV) and North Carolina (15 EV), while cutting Obama’s margin to just five points in both Minnesota (10 EV) and Pennsylvania (21 EV). Obama’s electoral lead still stands at 260 votes to McCain’s 194 with 84 toss-up votes, but another good week for McCain will undoubtedly see the Electoral College tighten.
