New Poll: Bush Up in Pennsylvania and Michigan
Here's the bad news: he's also behind in Ohio.
Let's be cautiously optimistic about this -- and let's vote, damnit -- but it's probably safe to say at this point of the the election what they say about Hollywood: No one knows anything about anything.
What we have on our hands is a flip of a coin, and unless you're just a degenerate gambler, you can't be happy about that.
On to it, then:
October 29, 2004 -- Two new polls yesterday claimed President Bush has 2-point leads in Pennsylvania and Michigan β must-win states for Democratic rival John Kerry.
...
Bush led by 49 to 47 percent in the Quinnipiac University poll of Pennsylvania. That's a statistical tie, but it's the first poll to show Bush ahead. The Los Angeles Times and Zogby polls showed a tie.
...
In Michigan β a state that even Republicans saw as a long shot β Bush led by 47 to 45 percent in a Zogby poll. Bush strategists targeted the upper Midwest, saying Iowa and Wisconsin were their best bets, followed by Minnesota and then Michigan.

Update: This guy says Bush is ready to take a commanding lead in Ohio.
Okay, but, he's only got 'till Tuesday you know.
