Earlier this week, I noted that there was one weird poll coming out of North Dakota showing Barack Obama with a slight lead.
Well, now there are three polls coming out of North Dakota showing Obama leading or tied with McCain:
If you look at those number closely, you’ll notice that Research 2000, which showed McCain with a seemingly insurmountable lead in September, now shows the race is tied.
Just to put that in perspective remember this — since it became a state in 1889, North Dakota has gone for a Democratic Presidential candidate exactly five times in twenty-seven Presidential elections; in 1912, 1916, 1932, 1936, and 1964. All but one of those elections, the 1916 election between Woodrow Wilson and Charles Evans Hughes, was a year in which the Democratic candidate won an electoral landslide.
The fact that McCain might have to fight for Fargo is not a good sign.
