In all three gallup polls today, the registered voters and both likely voter polls, the numbers are tightening. Obama lost 2% in a couple and Mac gained 2% in a couple of them. These national polls are generally two or three days ahead of what you see in the individual state polling. I've watche the Gallup's for over a month and don't remember seeing a shift down for Obama in all 3 polls, on the same day. This is a good sign for McCain that there may be some very serious tightening going into the homestretch.
This bears watching over the next couple of days as close as it will be in the battleground states.

Correct me if I am wrong but the way I hear it stated and played out on different web sites it doesn't matter about the polls or popular votes, what matters is the electoral college votes.
Something about the Presidential race being 50 separate races in each State
& that the magic number is 270?
That being the case, a candidate can get less than the popular vote but still win the Presidency, is this right?

That's correct. It happened in 2000, I believe. I know it was close to happening at least. If I'm wrong I'm sure someone will correct me.
It can happen. But again, the important thing to take from those numbers is that generally what happens in the national polls then translates on down to the state polls. In places like Ohio, VA, and Florida where it's so close a downward shift for Obama could be enough to cost him the states.

No, I think you're right. It did happen in 2000
