Any tightening in the polls is probably occurring in the South and rural Midwest

[Quixote1818]

These are areas that might buy into the Ayers crap. From what I have heard the Ayers attacks are backfiring on McCain in the swing states and looking at the state polls Obama is pulling away with huge 10 to 15 point leads.

I also think Gallup and Zogby will purposely try to make it look as though McCain is making a surge, just to keep people tuned in. They have to keep tension in the storyline or ratings will drop and the networks revenue will drop. Can't have that.

I suspect the National Polls to tighten for ratings and the state polls to continue to show an Obama blowout.
