WASHINGTON (CNN) - New polls in five battleground states that could decide the presidency suggest the battle for the White House between Sens. John McCain and Barack Obama remains a dead heat.
The CNN/Time Magazine/Opinion Research Corp. polls, out Wednesday, indicate that the race for Florida, and its 27 electoral votes, is tied up.
Florida ultimately decided the 2000 election between then-Texas Gov. George W. Bush and then-Vice President Al Gore. Four years ago President Bush won the Sunshine State by 5 points over Sen. John Kerry.

Barack Your Vote!!!!!
You can add myself, my entire family, my co workers and even my pitbull ( without lipstick of course) to those numbers in Indiana. Oh yeah, I forgot... no one has contacted me or any of the above to be polled.......hmmmmmmmmm
Goodbye Moose hunter, hello Mr. President Obama!!!!
Nosh, you are 1000 percent correct. Obama also has only a 45-41% lead in NEW YORK!
Also with Nobama attending a Hollywood fun raiser and now Hillary Clinton backing out of attening an event at the UN just because Sara Palin was going to be there I would say the McCain Campain has some new ammunician!
GO MCCAIN/PALIN 08!!!!!!!!
Looks to me like NC and IN are off the table. Hopefully, Obama can make them up somewhere else: CO, WI, NH, NM, perhaps.
Like to see the momentum swing back to O, though.
Ohio and Wisconsin for Obama means GAME OVER! Gotta hold on to both of them.
the debates will make the difference.
Let's not forget about all the newly registered democrats not showing up in these polls......I'd be interested in seeing those figures broken down by each battleground state
I have witnessed Obama get out the vote machine first hand and if it's really this close voter turnout will seal the deal and Obama wins hands down
Obama the "Flash" in the pan is done.
Palin induced popularity is receding fast.God help McCaine!
Noah:
You are right other polls show McCain with a bigger lead but the momentum has shifted again, the DOW is down another 450 today...McCain can't talk to this and the Alaska Beauty Queen with the Communications degree sure can't. it will be close, very close but momentum is back on Obama's side.
Noah,
What other polls? Everybody is saying that these numbers are pretty much correct.
cnn where did you make these #s up from,
why not add which poll's you cherrypicked through to get these #s.
democrat for mccain.
Seriously, how can half of the Americans (who are registered to vote) be this naive? It wouldn't be a dead heat if the government encouraged more people to register to vote,. but it probably wouldn't be the same government in power then. Get at least 10 people you know who are unregistered, registered before October 6, 2008 (the cut off date)!!!
Obama/Biden 08
Are Americans finally starting to use what is between their ears, put prejudices aside and make a decision in the interest of the country and the world at large ... come on Obama!
OB08!
World Citizen
Can't wait for next week's polls- after McSAME-Palin showing their ignorance in the last two days, I can't see any thinking person voting for them.
We have McSame saying our Economic Fundementals are still STRONG, and we have the Governor trying to end "Troopergate".
Republicans have no clue! Look what they've done for the last 8 years!
EIGHT IS ENOUGH!
If Florida goes blue. McLame/Failin are toast.
With the economic crisis and fundamental issues, people are going to seriously come to their senses God gave them. As a woman, picking Palin wasn't a smart move. This proves how incompetent McCain really is. Now, I see why Cindy is following him more closely.
Every vote will count this year!!!
Is McCain too rich and out of touch to understand a hard-working, economically pinched "whiner" like me???
The polls dont take into account new voters very good news for Obama. Yes we can & yes we will!!!
Teamsters for Obama
Noah, go cry me a river.
Senator McCain is starting to look tired. When will the American people realize he's simply too old to begin the job of President?
American should wake up now? the economy of world is in great danger and who wins this election got works to do. this election should not be for US alone. Think ammmeeerrrriiiikkkkaaaaaa. Macain shows how good he can handly the economy while Obama is not winning because he is not like other president before him. Hey guys wake up..................none of my biz anyway
