Obama ahead in every Big Ten state

The Map in September
The map NOW

new round of state polls from a faculty at "Big Ten" universities shows significant movement and now solid leads for Obama in key states including Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana:
Those states were key battlegrounds in the 2004 election, and last month the Big Ten Battleground Poll showed a tight race in all of those states but Illinois, which Obama represents in the U.S. Senate. The first poll was taken just as the U.S. financial crisis first intensified and before the massive decline in the stock market, when McCain was enjoying his highest poll numbers of the campaign in the Big Ten and nationally.

“In September, we saw virtually the entire Big Ten as a battleground,” said Franklin, co-developer of Pollster.com. “Now Obama is clearly winning the Big Ten battleground. The dominance of the economy as a top issue for voters is the overwhelming story.”

The new Big Ten poll shows Obama ahead in every Big Ten state, including Indiana, where McCain held a slight edge in September, and Ohio and Pennsylvania, where last month’s poll results showed the two candidates in a dead heat.

2. As a Hoosier by birth and many years residence and a graduate of IU
All I can say is WOW. WOW.

It used to be that Bloomington was one of two oases of sanity in the state of Indiana.

22. I did make phone calls there in 2004
A lot will depend on what part of Indiana you are in! I was born in Muncie -- it would be a challenge there. Indy and Bloomington, or up north are probably the areas that would be friendliest.

Now I'm in Florida, already voted here. I am so excited that Indiana might go Obama! I know my parents will be voting for him, anyway!

:hi:

less than 600 people per. I certainly hope it's true.
