New state polls look good for Obama

Colorado, Florida, Michigan, Minnesota and Pennsylvania show improvements for Democratic nominee.

Some new state-level poll numbers are in, and it looks like the collapse of the markets is helping Barack Obama.

He’s now up in Florida, according to a new "Today" show/NBC poll. Quinnipiac shows him edging ahead or furthering leads in Colorado, Michigan, Minnesota and Pennsylvania, too. (WTF: No Ohio results?)

Presumably David Axelrod has Obama programmed with a simple, five-word daily instruction: Must. Hammer. Away. On. Economy.
