In the CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey, released Sunday morning, 53 percent of likely voters say they are backing Obama, a Democratic senator from Illinois, for president, while 46 percent support McCain, a Republican senator from Arizona. [...]
Obama also holds a commanding lead in CNN's Electoral Map. CNN estimates that if the election were held today, Obama would win states worth 291 electoral votes more than enough to capture the White House. McCain would take states worth 157 electoral votes, while states worth a combined total of 90 electoral votes would still be up for grabs. A candidate needs 270 electoral votes to win. http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/11/02/obama-seven-points-ahead-in-cnns-final-poll/ http://tinyurl.com/5q67op
