Three weeks ago, the Republican-leaning parts of the map were barely even pink. Now, McCain has only 3 really vulnerable states- Florida, Virginia, and Nevada.The honor of "barely" holding onto much of ones electoral votes now goes to Obama- with six states all now within the margin of error.
New Hampshire, West Virginia, Florida, and Missouri all show stunted or reversed trends in regards to McCain.
But the bulk of the swing states have swung hard to the right since the end of the conventions.
Mason-Dixon should be releasing polls towards the end of the week, and Rasmussen will continue to release polls every weekday @ 5pm EST. PPP will be releasing a new Colorado poll tomorrow- perhaps enough momentum for McCain to flip, and thus lead the Electoral Vote?

Cool site and a great overview.
I use a widget to keep track of the progression of polls. The widget shows the election polls by strength of states. Here the swing states are particularly interesting!
In addition to other different graphical visualizations of data, this one displays the progression of votes over time.
Hereby you can see how/if the states have moved!
It gives a great overview and it is updated as the polls come in!
