Rasmussen:FL Mc 50%; O 49% - NC Mc 50%; O 49% - MO Tied McCain Narrows Gap in Battleground States Rasmussen Reports battleground polling this week shows some improvements for John McCain. Monday, 2008-03-308 Obama now leads in two of the battleground states while the candidates are tied or within a point of each other in four. Ohio is one of the two states where McCain gained ground this week and the candidates are now tied at 49% in the Buckeye State. This helps explain why the campaigns have had such a strong presence in the state during the closing days of election 2008. In the last six Rasmussen Reports Ohio polls, Obama and McCain have been within two points of each other five times. Neither man has reached the 50% level of support in any of the past six Ohio surveys. McCain also gained ground in Florida this week. After trailing by four a week ago, the Republican hopeful now holds a one-point advantage, 50% to 49%. This is the second time in three weeks that McCain has been up by a point in Florida. A month ago, Obama was up by seven in the state. In Colorado, it is Obama 51% McCain 47% as both men added a point to last week's totals. This is the fourth straight FOX News/Rasmussen Reports poll to show Obama attracting 50% or 51% of the vote. The Democrat has been up by four to six points in each of these polls. In Missouri, the candidates are tied at 49%. Last week, Obama was up by a point. In North Carolina, McCain is up by a point for the second week in a row and now leads 50% to 49%. This race has remained very close all year. In five surveys during the past month, each candidate has held a statistically insignificant lead twice and each man has reached the 50% mark once. The stability of these results is consistent with national polling over the past month.
