Obama Pulls Ahead in Missouri, North Dakota

It's been said time and time again that nobody wins the presidency without winning the "Show Me State", and Barack Obama is showing Missourians what they want to see! Over the last three weeks, polling there has shown a ten-point swing towards Obama. He now leads John McCain by a 51-43 spread.


In a further setback for the McCain camp, Obama has pulled ahead in one of the deep-red plains states, North Dakota. New polling shows Obama with a 45-43 lead in that state. That's within the poll's margin of error, but is very significant in a state that has gone Democratic only three times since 1916. McCain held a 13-point lead less than a month ago. A surprising 12% remain undecided.
