Obama up in Florida, Virginia, nationally

"Obama makes key gains in tight race (Politico 9/23/08)

Riding a wave of worry about the nation's financial health, Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) has broken into a lead in a national poll and has made slight but notable progress in several crucial battleground states, including Florida and Virginia.

Obama moved decisively ahead of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in a Washington Post-ABC News Poll. And a new Bloomberg/Los Angeles Times poll found that respondents thought Obama would do a better job handing the financial crisis than McCain, by 45 percent to 33 percent.

Perhaps more worrisome for (McCain), however, was a wave of polls this week showing Obama making gains in Florida and Virginia, both of which had looked favorable for McCain.

McCain is also having to sweat states that should be in his back pocket. He is adding staff in North Carolina, and Republicans are considering airing TV ads in Indiana."

Nice. Let's keep the heat up people.
