Rasmussen Polls: NM: Obama +10, MI: Obama +10, MN: Obama +12

[MadBadger]

All the numbers have come down a bit, but the important thing is that he has big leads in all three states, especially in New Mexico

1. Michigan number seems low to me

I could believe the other two.

6. Michigan Number Seems Fine to Me

Obama's amazing numbers were probably a result of anger for McCain publicly pulling out. But now, I think this will be just about right, Obama winning 56-44.

13. I still don't see a 6 point tightening

I would lean towards the 16.

[Jersey Devil]

12. Yeah, but he is at 53 and at 55 in Minn (nt)

[mvd]

14. Important thing is that MI is still safe

I was worried about it at first. We should win it by 13% at least with McCain paying no attention to it.

2. And he's above 50% in all three.

New Mexico 54-44
Michigan 53-43
Minnesota 55-43

3. Those numbers are down? Those are plenty big leads!

Like to see NM reinforced and another good poll in MN doesn't hurt either. I wasn't too worried about MI.

4. Obama up 12 and Franken down 3.

NOT a good sign.

Come on Al. Close the show big.

[mvd]

15. Yeah, that's disheartening

I hope Franken has a strong close. Was Coleman really that good in the last debate?

5. Michigan number seems fine to me

Obama's amazing numbers were probably a result of anger for him publicly pulling out. But now, I think this will be just about right, Obama winning 56-44.

9. I'm sure it is, it makes it a "safe state" or "solid state" by any reasonable standard.

Just out of curiosity, where was Kerry at this time in '04?

[RDANGELO]

7. Now, Rass' National poll has Obam up only three.

When they can explain this, they can get back to us.

[FVZA_Colonel]

10. It stayed the same?

Or is that yesterday's poll?

[rucky]

8. I [heart] Double Digits. n/t

[codjh9]

11. That's 'cuz I wuz just out there helping in NM! :^)

[WI_DEM]

16. Good numbers, particularly in NM, and MN--maybe Obama's coattails will help Franken

17. So you might be right about McCain's gains in strong blue states.

Obama has built huge leads in states like Michigan and those are now tightening a bit, but it will not be enough for McCain to win in one of them. Battleground state polls show no real movement in McCain's favor at the moment.
