Polls continue to tighten in Maryland

No kidding, the races are tightening.

This Mason Dixon Poll has both O'Malley and Erhlich at 45%.  That is the lowest number O'Malley has had in months.  Ehrlich can't get past 45-47%, but he does have some momentum.

Cardin is still leading by 3%. Cardin 47% and Steele 44%.

9% undecided in both races.

They polled 24% african american, 33% republicans, and all were registered voters (not likely voters).

I am at a loss to explain this.  There has been no gaff or extraordinary effort on either side.

Tradesports which I have never followed before this election cycle is finally catching up with the polls.  They had O'Malley at 85-90% to win and he has dropped 25 percentage points over the last several days.  BUT O'Malley still has much better odds than Ehrlich.  If I am reading it right : 60% O'Malley and 40% Ehrlich.
