Both the Q-poll and the Big 10 Battleground poll out this morning have bad news for McCain in Ohio. Take a good look at Indiana and Ohio (this is a "registered voters and those likely to register to vote" poll). [Prof Franklin says: "Several of our states have election day registration, so we have to ask. It is a very small percentage who say they will register still."]

From the Big 10:

The Big 10 also had a national sample showing Obama up 9, 52-43 (MoE 3.1)

The last poll was a month ago, showing a much tighter race (h/t AlexTFB for the graphic.)

Indiana MoE +/- 4.2
Obama 51 (43)
McCain 41 (43)

Ohio MoE +/- 4.2
Obama 53 (46)
McCain 41 (45)

Pennsylvania MoE +/- 4.2
Obama 52 (45)
McCain 41 (45)
