Florida, Bush 51%-45% (This is a 1 point Bush gain from yesterday)

Ohio, Bush 48%-46% (This is a 1 point Kerry gain from yesterday)

Michigan, Tied 47% (This is the sixth day in a row of a tied race here)

Pennsylvania, Bush 48%-47% (This is a 1 point Kerry gain from yesterday)

Minnesota, Kerry 48%-45% (This is a 1 point Kerry gain from yesterday)

2. Making progress...

but I want Florida to be tied at the worst.

7. Yeah Minnesota, Yeah SOX!

good numbers in Minnesota... but I'm surprised that rasmussen has little effect from the debate... I would expect Kerry in a much better position, as the national numbers indicate...
