(CBS4) According to a CBS4 News tracking poll, Florida's 27 electoral votes may be within reach of Barack Obama. The Democratic candidate leads 3:2 among those who claim to have already voted. However, McCain leads 3:2 among those who have not yet voted.

This means Tuesday's voter turnout will be crucial to offset the balance. In the mix of those polled there were 58% early voters and 42% same-day voters, which, when combined, results in Florida voting Obama 50%, McCain 47%. This is with a ± 3.8% margin of error.

If the number of same-day voters equals the number of early voters, the contest is a tie, but if the number of voters on November 4th exceeds early voters, McCain would win. If voter turnout on the 4th is less than the number of early voters, Obama would win.
