Obama has reached 51% of the vote in the new CNN/Opinion Research poll. He leads in every national tracking poll today. He also got a very encouraging result in Virginia from SurveyUSA (Obama 51%, McCain 45%) and ABC/Wash Post (Obama 49%, McCain 46%). If Obama wants to lockdown Virginia, he must do better than 28% among white men (ABC/Wash Post) and close McCain’s twenty-point advantage with military veterans. I suggest bringing out all those retired generals that were on display at the Democratic National Convention. Winning Virginia would almost assure victory in the Electoral College.
