<<I think Obama needs about an 8-point lead in the polls to squeak out a win.>>

I'm afraid you may be right.

I think in California that's called the "Bill Bradley" effect... he was a popular black mayor of LA running for governor, had a big poll lead going into the election, and lost because once they were actually in front of the levers, whites couldn't emotionally bring themselves to give the power away.
