Looks like the majority of battleground states are as fed up with McPain's dirty tactics and tired rhetoric as we are.

UPDATE: Interesting NY Times piece on the topic.
Since the first Obama/McCain debate and the climax of the economic crisis, John McCain has steadily fallen in the polls in states where he once led, in some cases, substantially.
According to USAElectionPolls.com, a site which tallies all national and statewide polls, Obama now leads McCain in the following battleground states:
Florida (27 electoral votes): Obama 49%, McCain 46%
(Insider Advantage Poll, 9/30/08)
Pennsylvania (21 electoral votes): Obama 50%, McCain 42%
(Rasmussen Poll, 9/28/08)
Ohio (20 electoral votes): Obama 47%, McCain 45%
(Insider Advantage Poll, 9/28/08)
Michigan (17 electoral votes): Obama 51%, McCain 41%
(Public Policy Poll, 9/29/08-10/1/08)
New Jersey (15 electoral votes): Obama 48%, McCain 39%
(Strategic Vision Poll, 9/26/08-9/28/08)
North Carolina (15 electoral votes): Obama 50%, McCain 47%

(Rasmussen Poll, 10/1/08)
New Hampshire (4 electoral votes): Obama 53%, McCain 43%
(Rasmussen Poll, 10/1/08)
Additionally, Obama is keeping it close (within 5 points) in previously Red strongholds like Virginia, Georgia, and Indiana. McCain was so dismayed by Obama's double digit lead in Michigan that he ceased all campaigning in the state last week. Good riddance!
Each candidate leads their own homestate (Illinois and Arizona) by 20 points, and Obama is also leading in Joe Biden’s homestate of Delaware by 20 points (McCain leads in Alaska by only 17 points, despite repeated false claims that Palin is the most popular Governor in America). But by far the biggest margin is in Washington D.C., where Obama leads by 70 points.
