State Polls Shift to McCain

It's the Mac is Back closing momentum! Per Slate:

Of 20 new statewide polls, 15 show a shift in McCain's direction. The biggest comes from a SurveyUSA poll in Kansas, where McCain leads 58-37; he led 53-41 in the same poll a week earlier. CNN/Time/Opinion Research Corp. and Quinnipiac polls in Florida showed shifts toward McCain of one and three points, respectively, though both polls still show Obama ahead. The same CNN/Time poll in Missouri shows a one-point shift—within the margin of error—to McCain, who leads 50-48. The largest shift to Obama was in a SurveyUSA poll in Delaware, where he increased his lead from nine points to 30 points. The previous survey was conducted in February. The CNN/Time poll in Georgia shows a three-point shift toward Obama. McCain is still ahead in the state 52-47.—Abby Callard

At least Joe the Biden can still carry his own state.

UPDATE: Mason-Dixon I assume part of that shift--shows McCain +2 in Ohio. HT The Corner.

UPDATE: Geraghty thinks Pew's polling is suspect--that it's really been closer than they have been telling us, given their latest shift. Plus the Sunday night take from Obi-Wan.
