Barack Obama has opened up leads in two battleground states - Iowa and Minnesota - but is in a dead-heat with John McCain in Ohio, which was a key to the last election, according to a CNN/Time/Opinion Research poll conducted Aug. 31 - Sept. 2.
In Iowa, Obama leads McCain among registered voters by 55 percent to 40 percent. His Minnesota lead is 53 percent to 41 percent. But in Ohio, the two candidates are statistically tied at 47 percent to 45 percent. The margin of error is 3.5 percent.
"In Iowa and Minnesota, white voters are backing Obama," said CNN senior political analyst Schneider. "In Ohio, white voters are supporting McCain. What about those blue-collar white voters that were so important for Clinton in Ohio? They're pretty solidly for McCain."
