There was a surprisingly heavy polling load today, particularly some House internals that show Democratic competitiveness in races that were well off of the watch lists for both parties.
There were also several presidential polls, but divining much from them proved quite difficult. A Republican pollster had lousy news for Barack Obama in Virginia (and a Senate number that really compromises the credibility of the numbers in the presidential race, truth be told), but halfway decent numbers (considering the source) in Colorado). PPP had decent numbers for Obama in Oregon, and a lead in Ohio, though of considerably less heft than PPP has had in the past.
On to the numbers:
