            <title>Miami Herald Poll: McCain Holds Small Edge in Florida</title>
            <description>A new &lt;a href="http://www.miamiherald.com/979/story/695102.html"&gt;Miami Herald poll&lt;/a&gt; finds Sen. John McCain "is nursing a narrow lead" over Sen. Barack Obama in Florida, 47% to 45%.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Key finding: "The survey of 800 likely voters echoed the economic jitters of the nation, as 43 percent of voters said the economy should be the next president's top concern. That's a three-to-one margin over the next two top issues: managing the war in Iraq, at 14 percent, and protecting us from terrorism, at 12 percent."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Said pollster Tom Eldon: "Obama is in a position to improve his poll numbers, given the confidence in his handling of the economy."

            <description>&lt;a href="http://www.newsweek.com/id/160091"&gt;Newsweek&lt;/a&gt; checked vehicle registration records for both Sen. John McCain and Sen. Barack Obama and found that when you include the candidates' spouses, McCain owns 13 cars, Obama 1.

            <title>Research 2000: Obama Catches McCain in Florida</title>
            <description>Sen. Barack Obama has pulled virtually even with Sen. John McCain in Florida, according to a new &lt;a href="http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/local/southflorida/sfl-flaprezpoll0921sbsep21,0,7609474.story"&gt;Research 2000 poll&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;McCain now just barely edges Obama 46% to 45%.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Said pollster Del Ali: "It's competitive, no question, and obviously the economy is the top issue. What took place on Wall Street this week helped Obama in Florida. His numbers went up with each day we polled. For him to win Florida, it's obviously important for the economy to stay the top issue."

Barack Obama way ahead of Sen. John McCain, 53% to 39%.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Said pollster Del Ali: "This is the state that started it all for Obama. He's very popular here."

            <title>Quote of the Day</title>
            <description>"Both campaigns are doing what they need to do to be prepared to govern on Jan. 20 at noon. The amount of work being done before the election, formal and informal, is the most ever."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

-- Deputy OMB Director Clay Johnson, quoted by the &lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/21/us/politics/21transition.html?_r=2&amp;amp;ref=politics&amp;amp;oref=slogin&amp;amp;oref=slogin"&gt;New York Times&lt;/a&gt;, on the transition planning currently underway by both the McCain and Obama campaigns.

            <title>Ohio Poll: McCain Holds Six Point Lead in Buckeye State</title>
            <description>A new &lt;a href="http://blog.cleveland.com/openers/2008/09/poll_main.html"&gt;Ohio Newspaper Poll&lt;/a&gt; shows Sen. John McCain leading Sen. Barack Obama, 48% to 42%.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Ohio voters say McCain is more qualified to be president and would
likely use good judgment, two issues debated along the campaign trail.
But Obama tops McCain on a key issue: He is more in touch with the
problems of Ohioans, the poll shows. And he's more likeable."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Caveat: "The poll was started before this week's turmoil on Wall Street, which could raise new issues for voters."

            <title>PPP Poll: North Carolina Deadlocked</title>
            <description>A new &lt;a href="http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/pdf/PPP_Release_NC_92168.pdf"&gt;Public Policy Polling survey&lt;/a&gt; in North Carolina finds the presidential in a dead heat with Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. John McCain each getting 46% support.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Key findings: "Obama has a 58% to 34% advantage with those voters who say the economy is
their biggest concern. He has reclaimed a small lead with North
Carolina independents and increased his share with Democratic voters
since a PPP survey conducted a week and a half ago in the state."&lt;br /&gt;

            <title>Research 2000: McCain Leads in Missouri</title>
            <description>A new &lt;a href="http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/news/stories.nsf/politics/story/43895DDA1683ECEE862574CA00119713?OpenDocument"&gt;Research 2000 poll&lt;/a&gt; in Missouri shows Sen. John McCain leading Sen. Barack Obama, 49% to 45%, in this key battleground state.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Key finding: "Compared to the July poll, McCain's standing has improved among women
and men. But his higher standing among women has generated more
political benefit because they make up a majority of Missouri's likely
voters. As a bloc, the women polled lean slightly toward Obama -- but their
preference is dramatically below the double-digit lead that Obama had
among Missouri women voters polled in July."

            <title>Detroit News Poll: Obama Holds Slight Lead in Michigan</title>
            <description>Sen. Barack Obama has the smallest possible lead -- one point -- over
Sen. John McCain in Michigan, 43% to 42%, according to a new &lt;a href="http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080920/POLITICS01/809200358"&gt;Detroit News
poll&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Analysis: "The numbers show a race largely unchanged from EPIC-MRA surveys in July
and August, each of which had Obama up by 2 points. And they show Obama
in danger of becoming the first Democrat in two decades to lose
Michigan's electoral votes."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Update&lt;/b&gt;: A new &lt;a href="http://americanresearchgroup.com/pres2008/MI08.html"&gt;American Research Group poll&lt;/a&gt; shows Obama leading McCain 48% to 46% in the key battleground state.&lt;br /&gt;

            <title>Palin Wins Concessions for Veep Debate</title>
            <description>"The Obama and McCain campaigns have agreed to an unusual free-flowing format for the three televised presidential debates, which begin on Friday, but the McCain camp fought for and won a much more structured approach for the questioning at the vice-presidential debate," according to the &lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/21/us/politics/21debate.html?_r=1&amp;amp;hp&amp;amp;oref=slogin"&gt;New York Times&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

"At the insistence of the McCain campaign," the Oct. 2 debate between Sarah Palin and Joe Biden "will have shorter question-and-answer segments than those for the presidential nominees... There will also be much less opportunity for free-wheeling, direct exchanges between the running mates."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

"McCain advisers said they had been concerned that a loose format could leave Ms. Palin, a relatively inexperienced debater, at a disadvantage and largely on the defensive."

            <title>Palin's Favorability Ratings Tumble</title>
            <description>Gov. Sarah Palin's favorable/unfavorable ratings have suffered a stunning 21 point collapse in just one week, according to &lt;a href="http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/9/17/195514/801/936/602155"&gt;Research 2000&lt;/a&gt; polling. Last week, 52% approved and 35% disapproved of the GOP vice presidential nominee (+17 net). This week, 42% approved and 46% disapprove (-4 net). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Earlier this week, &lt;a href="http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/stumper/archive/2008/09/16/palin-s-favorability-ratings-begin-to-falter.aspx"&gt;Newsweek&lt;/a&gt; also saw the drop in other polling. "&lt;span class="BlogPostWords"&gt;Over the course of a single weekend... Palin
went from being the most popular White House hopeful to the least."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://blogs.cqpolitics.com/politicalinsider/2008/09/why-palin-was-a-bad-pick.html"&gt;Political Insider&lt;/a&gt;: Why Palin was ultimately a bad pick for McCain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

            <description>Rep. Peter Welch (D-VT) won the Democratic congressional nomination last week -- and also won the Republican nomination because he "received enough write-in votes on Republican ballots to secure the nomination of a party that didn't put up a candidate of its own," the &lt;a href="http://www.timesargus.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080918/NEWS02/809180364"&gt;Barre Montpelier Times-Argus&lt;/a&gt; reports.

            <title>ARG Poll: McCain Ahead in Indiana</title>
            <description>Several new American Research Group polls are out this morning:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://americanresearchgroup.com/pres2008/IN08.html"&gt;Indiana&lt;/a&gt;: McCain 47%, Obama 44%&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Key findings: "82% of Democrats say they would vote for Obama and 79% of Republicans say they would vote for McCain.

Indiana is the only state out of 30 states surveyed by ARG where McCain leads in the ballot when his share of the Republican vote is less than Obama's share of the Democratic vote. Also, 37% of likely voters say they would never vote for McCain, compared to 33% of likely voters saying they would never voter for Obama."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://americanresearchgroup.com/pres2008/ND08.html"&gt;North Dakota&lt;/a&gt;: McCain 52%, Obama 43%&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://americanresearchgroup.com/pres2008/WA08.html"&gt;Washington&lt;/a&gt;: Obama 50%, McCain 44%&lt;br /&gt;

            <title>Two Thirds of Households Watched Conventions</title>
            <description>&lt;a href="http://blog.nielsen.com/nielsenwire/media_entertainment/two-thirds-of-us-households-tuned-in-to-dems-and-gops-conventions/"&gt;Nielsen&lt;/a&gt; reviews viewership data from the national political conventions and draws several interesting conclusions:&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Nearly two thirds of all U.S. households (64.5% or 73.2 million homes) tuned into at least one of the 2008 political conventions. This is about 120.1 million people. Viewership levels for the two conventions were essentially tied, with about half of all households watching each one.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;15.0% of all households tuned to just the RNC, and 15.7% tuned to just the DNC. Another 33.9% of all households tuned to both conventions.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Homes that watched both conventions were more likely to be headed by someone 65 years or older. They also completed the most formal education: nearly one-third (32.3%) graduated from college. Those watching only one convention were fairly comparable on both education and HOH age, within a point or two.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Homes that only tuned to the RNC were more likely to have higher incomes ($100K+), to have a larger household size (4+), to be white, to own a DVR, and to have a head of household with higher education (4+ yrs college) and aged 35-54.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Homes that only tuned in to the DNC were more likely to have a lower income (&amp;lt;20K), to have a smaller household size (2), to be African American, and to have a head of household who is younger (&amp;lt;35) and who has less education (1-3 Yrs College).&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;

            <title>Up To $1 Trillion Needed to Prevent Meltdown</title>
            <description>"Congressional leaders said after meeting Thursday evening with Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke that as much as $1 trillion could be needed to avoid an imminent meltdown of the U.S. financial system," according to &lt;a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0908/13602.html"&gt;Politico&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
