State polls show Ohio and Florida back to McCain

With the media spending all day talking up Obama, and talking about the Colin Powell endorsement, not much talk about Ohio and Florida where the polls have gone back to McCain.

This site is patently pro-Obama and was forced to show the poll results, even though they still show the electoral college with Obama getting both states. A little misleading at the least

We have nine presidential polls today.
Florida and Ohio, the two biggest swing states, are still swinging.
Today's polls put McCain ahead in Florida 49% to 47% and also ahead in
Ohio 46% to 45%, both statistical ties. Somewhat surprising is a new
poll in Montana in which McCain is leading by only 4 points in a state
Bush won by 20 points in 2004 and by 25 points in 2000. Together with
the statistical tie in North Dakota, it looks like a number of solid
Republican states may not be solid at all. Of course, a 4-point win in
Montana is as good as a 20-point win, but given the amount of money
Obama has and how cheap television time is in Montana, he could afford
a real blitz there.
