These are the latest RCP pre-election poll averages as of May 23.
Note: Obama's lead is beyond the 4% margin of error in 6 of the 19 states

On an EV-weighted average basis, Obama leads by 46.5-42.8%
Converting to a 2-party equivalent, Obama leads by 52.1-47.9%

From these polls, we can gauge which states are likely to be targeted (and flipped)by the GOP: OH, FL, MI, NH, NM, VA, NC

Sound familiar?
