So does that mean you are calling New Mexico, Michigan, and PA real swing states? Cuz those should be favouring Obama pretty good too.

No. Technically, none of those should be on the list either. An aggregate of battleground states should be Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio and Virginia, which are the most competitive states.

I think his point is that if states like NM and PA are being sampled in this poll as "battle ground states," then we shouldn't nitpick about states like Arizona, Michigan, and Missouri being sampled. Keep in mind, Indiana was carried by the Democrats in 2008, and Missouri was just a couple thousand votes away from the same result.

The polls have really been all over the place on which party is more enthusiastic about voting this November.

Democrats - 59% at least very enthusiastic, 15% not too, or not at all enthusiastic
Republicans - 51% at least very enthusiastic, 24% not too, or not at all enthusiastic

Doubt the gap is really that large, but it should be a concern for Republicans if accurate.
