New Rasmussen poll out today shows Obama is leading John McCain 48-43 in NH.  As Rasmussen states:

That’s quite a turnaround from a month ago when Obama trailed the Republican hopeful by ten points . . . Obama is viewed favorably by 56% of New Hampshire voters. That’s up five points from a month ago.  McCain is viewed favorably by 55%, down three points from the prior survey.

Additionally, SurveyUSA has Obama leading McCain by 9 in Ohio of all places.  Link here.

Also new PA results show that the race there is at closer than hoped, though it does show Obama trending up since the last poll, where he trailed by 1 point.

Ultimately, I think Obama will have no trouble winning PA.

So far, this is great news for Obama, and to be trending positive even before the nomination is wrapped up is a great sign.
