64% say the economy is the most important, and they go to Obama 55-40.

Obama has opened up an eight point lead among indies

John McCain's lead among white voters fell 16 points to 11 points.

1. It's PPP, but good news is good news.

[MadBadger]

7. I trust PPP. They had Obama down five last week so I dont think they are biased in their polls.

Also, their NC polls are usually backed up by what their republican counterpart in NC says

[gcomeau]

10. Biased, no... erratic, yes.

But still good news, even if it should be taken with a grain of salt.

2. Now-THIS is something that I can celebrate

:):)

[bluestateguy]

3. Great news

I wonder if the old folks on the Gold Coast are coming around.

Now why doesn't electoral-vote.com count PPP polls?

[vaberella]

4. We got Florida...Woohoo! n/t

[apnu]

11. Its not election day, don't claim victory yet. (nt)

[vaberella]

25. I know it's not an election day, but bloody hell, let me a bit glad.

Not much going onto make me smile.

[Ellipsis]

5. K&R

[elkston]

6. Sample size was 941 (good), and it was taken AFTER the debates. GREAT (eom)

[Robbins]

8. Florida

Before some denounce this It should be noted both Mason Dixon Poll,and ARG(hardly the most reliable
pollster I know) have Obama ahead In Florida as well.Even RAS has It tied In Florida.

Nate over at 538 has Florida for Obama now.

The economy as well as Palin may have cost Mccain Florida.Especilly with all the time and Money
Obama Is spending to register and get people out voting.

[MadBadger]

9. I've shifted Florida to lean Obama in my projections.

[Schulzz]

12. The Obama campaign is NOT stupid - unlike the McStunt team.

When they invest so much money in Florida, it is definiately winnable. I completely trust Obama's campaign.

[populistdriven]

23. our ground team is turning into a fine tuned machine

[speedoo]

13. Obama's even further ahead today, after the bailout debacle.

McCain was permanently damaged by his stupid stunts over the bailout. Florida retirees will punish him severely for that.

McCain can't win without Floricda or Virginia and both states are moving to Obama.

[hogwyld]

14. This is fantastic news!!

I guess all of those retirees 401k's crashing is giving them a reality check.

[thereismore]

15. Oops. Where is Katherine Harris when you need her? nt

[CampLo]

16. damn!

this + the Daily Show segment with the older Jewish group are erasing my doubts of an Obama victory in FL.

[FrenchieCat]

19. That segment was hilarious!

Saw it last night.

And I'm Black.....

Here are somethings Jewish voters are seeing that is helping!

17. Palin is working against McPain. Cool. nt

[usregimechange]

18. Palin hurting him as well as econ

[MindMatter]

22. Big Jewish population in FL

The Christian thing can cut both ways.

Christians buddy up to Jews when they need them, but "fundamentally" the more fundamentalist Christians have a deep-seeded antipathy towards Jews. Never mind the idea that Jesus himself was a Jew. The Fundies often regard Jews as "incomplete Christians".

I assume just about every Jew is sensitive to this, and they probably have an internal radar that goes off whenever they see Christians who are a bit "too Christian for their own good", so to speak.

[Hope And Change]

20. K & R!

[ginnyinWI]

21. Florida! Freaking Florida!

It's turned light blue on the map at http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/ too. :party:

[Whalestoe]

24. PPP said Obama would win PA in the primaries...

They've got my hopes up one too many times.

[MadBadger]

26. Everybody has a bad poll, and that was there's. What other times have they got your hopes up?

[Whalestoe]

28. Yeah, a bad poll with a +3 lead or something.

I'll wait for more polls to give Obama the edge. I think he's closing in on FL, but I'll wait to get my hopes up of a lead.

[MadBadger]

29. See now your unfairly judging an entire polling outfit for one bad poll which they all had

Give me more examples of their bad polling record.

[yellowcanine]

27. Well, well, well. If Obama knocks off Florida and Virginia this thing could be over by 9 pm EST

Wouldn't even need North Carolina, though I suspect if Florida goes for Obama, NC won't be far behind.

[mvd]

30. K&R - that's a nice shift
