Indiana: Obama up 3 in Indianapolis Star Poll

[democraticinsurgent]

Sen. Barack Obama holds a tenuous lead over Sen. John McCain in Indiana, with one in four likely voters saying they could change their mind on who to support for president, according to a new Indianapolis Star-WTHR (Channel 13) poll.

Obama's three-point lead in the poll, 47 percent to 44 percent, reinforces Indiana's status as a battleground in the race for the White House.

The poll, conducted Sunday through Tuesday by Selzer & Co. of Des Moines, Iowa, also revealed a geographic disparity between the two candidates: Obama, the Democrat, holds a 54 percent to 40 percent advantage in Indianapolis, but McCain, the Republican, leads in all other regions of the state, including Northwest Indiana.

Pollster J. Ann Selzer said the poll, with a 4 percentage point margin of error, reflects a lead by Obama that is tentative and reliant on a solid turnout in the Indianapolis metropolitan area.

[MindMatter]

1. There will soon be so many "battleground states" Joebama won't be able to get to them all

Florida looked like a write-off. Now FL is definitely in play. Worst case, McCain and the GOP will have to spend $20M there they hadn't planned on.

NC was slipping, and is now looking doable.

Virginia is right there

If Obama wins Indiana, we're talking a major landslide.

Nevada, West Virginia, let's get Missouri too.

Wouldn't it be sweet to be in a position to make a serious run in Arizona? That's probably not in the cards.

And don't forget, the senile guy and the bimbo have to make it through 4 debates still with a media that is not all that happy with them.
