New surveys show Barack Obama running competitively with John McCain in two traditionally red states, North Dakota and Mississippi.

The polls, conducted by Research 2000 for Daily Kos, have Obama trailing McCain 42 percent to 45 percent in North Dakota and 42 percent to 51 percent in Mississippi. Since the margin for error in the North Dakota poll is 4.5 percentage points, the race is virtually tied. The error margin in Mississippi is 4 percent.
