Poll Numbers for Sunday - 10/19/08

Gallup's latest daily presidential tracking poll of registered voters has Barack Obama at 50 percent and John McCain at 42 percent.

Minnesota - Obama is supported by 52 percent of likely voters, while 41 percent are backing McCain.

Once reliably Republican North Dakota have shifted the state from the column of Sen. John McCain and Gov. Sarah Palin. And, according to new state poll research provided to The Ticket by Karl Rove & Co., now puts that state in the tossup column. Not a good sign for the GOP this close to Nov. 4.

In Wisconsin -- a state the Democrats have won in the last two presidential elections -- Obama has a comfortable 12-point lead, 51%-39%.
Meanwhile, in West Virginia -- a state Republicans have won in the last two presidential elections, but the Obama campaign is now targeting -- McCain is up six points, 47%-41%.

And in Ohio -- the state that decided the last election -- McCain has a slim one-point edge over Obama, 46%-45%.
