Almost all of them.  They'll get a lot more accurate in the next week, though.
Most thoughts exactly on the first part

I'd say states that are most heavily wrong in Obama's favor: MT, ND, MN, WA, OR
States that are most heavily wrong in McCain's favor: CO, VA, NC, FL, PA

McCain is going to get slaughtered in PA eh?  He's already down by 8% or so, or something.

No, I think he's going to win or come very close.  What I meant is that they are most heavily wrong and will go in their favor on election day, sorry for the confusion

Well maybe you should work your respective lines then.  Smiley

The state polls are now so terrible for McCain, that I am not sure he will underperform in any state vis a vis those, at least of any of which I am aware. California has polls showing Obama up by 25% now. It will be more than 16%-18% I think, so that might be the most  bloated one. But maybe my compatriots are going what I am going through. I don't see McCain beating the polls in states which Obama is working hard. Rather he will underperform by a couple of percent.

I suspect maybe McCain will do a bit better than the poll average in Indiana that has been shown so far. I just can't get my mind around that big a swing.
