Four polls conducted in August showed John McCain with modest lead–anywhere between 2 and 6 points–in North Carolina. A new SurveyUSA poll of likely voters conducted Saturday through Monday shows McCain-Palin leading Obama-Biden 58 percent to 38 percent. McCain has also shored up support in Montana–another red state that looked like it might be teetering toward Obama. In July, one Rasmussen poll showed McCain losing the state to Obama by 5 points; in another poll McCain was ahead by a single point. The latest from Rasmussen shows McCain up 11 points. So much for Team Obama’s 50 state strategy. Hat Tip: Sean Oxendine
