I don't think Obama will carry Arizona. I do think he would like to force McCain to defend it in the last few days. His being close is great PR for his campaign.
The poll at 2% is Zimmerman, a Democratic polling organization.
The next closest after that is 5%, 7% and 8%
Interesting. Why do you feel the race so close? A poll done earlier in the year predicted this was happening, and showed the Senator losing a lot of ground in traditional Republican areas to Democrats, in the more populous ares. If the poll you cited isn't weighted for the cell phone crowd - lookout!

Is Obama making much of a push there? Either in media or staff? What is the Hispanic population number?
Many republicans in Arizona are Goldwater republicans ~ and Goldwater didn’t like McCain very much! I continue to hear endorsements for Obama from some well known republican names. McCain hasn’t that good of a reputation in his own state and many people remember just who he is with the Keating Five from back in the mid 80’s.
I sure hope McCain loses AZ, would serve him right. I hope he loses all 50 states, but that won't happen, there are too many racists in red states who'll choose guaranteed economic servitude and poverty under McCain before voting in a black guy who WILL improve their lives in many ways; and that is a sad statement on where we are as a nation - divided and conquered.

Here is a link to the Demographics, which appear to show Hispanics comprise 29.2% of the population total. Keep in mind however there have been Demographic shifts due to housing and the Economy, a local Realtor would be able to give a much more detailed analysis of on the ground sentiment.
If you consider the enormous Tipping point pressure being exerted by the surrounding States - CA, Nevada, New Mexico and Colorado, and understand the Tipping point methodology, Arizona is under a lot of pressure and will be very interesting to watch.
RCP now has the State as a leaner.

Yup, you hit the nail on the head. The media will really talk this up, especially if there aren't any announcements or new policies to discuss. Wonderful PR.
