Likely the high-water mark for McCain as far as the electoral map goes. Obama has already erased McCain's post-convention bounce at the national level - and the state-by-state results will likely follow suit.

Of course, things could shift again in McCain's favor between now and the election, but I suspect not.

Getting close to my prediction of McCain at 285!

People are finally realizing the problems in this country are the fault of a dem congress who stopped progress in the last 5 years and this dem controlled congress of the past 2 years who have done nothing.

Add the most liberal of them all Obama to that mix and we are going to become a country heading for a disaster.

It could have been over if the dems just picked Hillary instead of Obama. They blew their chance at a sweep.

These polls will go back and forth to the very end. Some of them are all over the board. One has Mac +8 in Florida, another has it tied. Nj Obama+3, another +8, OH, MAC+5, obama +2, MI, PA, WI are basically tied.

Pick a poll, any poll.

Except they don't show how close MI, PA, WI, MN are - they have those "dark blue", which they are not.

State polling is usually several days to a week behind national polling, which has swung back in Obama's favor for the first time since the convention/Palinovelty bump.

RealClearPolitics - Election 2008 - General Election: McCain vs. Obama

Besides-- the debates haven't happened yet. That may change things again.

Whatever. Hillary's bubble would have burst a long time ago, due to her very high unfavorables. Republicans wanted us to nominate Hillary because she would have been easy to defeat.

The funny thing about this poll is that I purposely picked it because I always considered it very "left leaning"

If a "left leaning" site is reporting McCain with 274...
