RealClearPolitics has McCain up 2.1 percent. Their electoral count, with no toss-ups, still shows Obama up by 8 votes. But that includes New Hampshire, where Obama is up 0.3 and the last poll RCP counts, a Rasmussen from Aug. 18, had Obama up just one. Flip the state’s four votes, and there’s a tie.
