Poll-itics: Good news electoral vote edition

By GottaLaff

Good news, brought to you by the Laffy Blog Network (via USA Election Polls):

We have just updated 13 state matchup polls between Obama and McCain and of those 12 matched the previous state result... What flipped??? Michigan.

Michigan went from McCain's corner to Obama.. helping to extend Obama's electoral vote lead to over 100.

Here is what the presidential race would look like if it were to be held today, according to our estimations:

• Barack Obama - 320
• John McCain - 218

Michigan is a crucial state but so are so many other states... McCain could add Romney as a VP to help shore up Michigan but that would still put him about 70 EV behind.

State	#EV	Obama	McCain
Texas	34	39.0	52.0
New York	31	50.0	36.0
Michigan	17	45.0	42.0
Georgia	15	41.0	51.0
New Jersey	15	45.0	39.0
Massachusetts	12	53.0	30.0
Washington	11	53.0	35.0
Wisconsin	10	50.0	37.0
Alabama	9	33.0	57.0
South Carolina	8	39.0	48.0
Iowa	7	45.0	38.0

Happy Friday the 13th!
