No major movement, but here's the bottom line:

In Colorado, Obama is up 1 (McCain was up 3 before the conventions -- perhaps this reflects the bounce from the Dem convention being held in Denver)

In Florida, it's tied (McCain was up 2 before the conventions)

In Ohio, McCain is up 7 (he was up 5 before the conventions)

In Pennsylvania, Obama is up 2 (that's the same as before the conventions)

In Virginia, McCain is up 2 (he was up 1 before the conventions)

More info here.

One thing that would concern me if I were in the McCain camp is that Bush won four out of five of these swing states that Obama is putting in play. And Virginia wasn't even a swing state in 2004 and hasn't gone Democratic since the 1964 LBJ landslide. With that said, these polls show that it continues to anybody's ballgame right now.
