A recent poll by the Associated Press gives Obama a wide lead in some traditionally Republican states and some swing states.  Obama is up in Ohio 48% to McCain’s 41%.  Obama has a 9 point lead in Colorado, a 7 point lead in Virgina, and a 12 point lead in Nevada.  The poll also showed that North Carolina and Florida are still competitive with Obama only up 2 points in both states. 

Early voting has given Obama a clear advantage.  In Pennsylvania and Virgina, Obama has a 45 point lead in early voting.
