Sept. 22 (Bloomberg) -- Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry leads President George W. Bush in the contest for electoral votes in each state that will decide the election, according to polls by the American Research Group and Zogby International.

Kerry, a four-term Massachusetts senator, leads in 19 states, including California and Illinois, that together have 270 Electoral College votes, according to polls done in all 50 states by the American Research Group. Bush leads in 29 states with a total of 253 electoral votes, including Texas and North Carolina. In 23 states the gap is within the margin of error.

The Zogby polls found Kerry leading in states with 264 electoral votes, Bush leading in states worth 241 and the two tied in Florida and Arkansas.

1. ARG is very significant:

ARG surveyed 600 people in all 50 states. That's a pretty valid poll statistically, and it shows a tight race, but Kerry has an edge (as a Democrat should) in the electoral college. Still, we must CAMPAIGN HARD for Kerry. Let's all stop whining and start campaigning.
