*** Obama’s battleground edge grows: In NBC's first battleground map since the conventions and a slew of new state polling, President Obama has expanded his electoral-vote lead over Mitt Romney -- but only slightly. There are now 243 electoral votes in Obama’s column and 191 in Romney’s, with 104 in the Toss-up category; 270 are needed to win the presidency. Last month, before the conventions, the president was ahead 237-191. The one change: We've moved Iowa from Toss-up to Lean Obama based on our new NBC/WSJ/Marist polls and our conversations with the campaigns. Perhaps in no other state outside of Ohio and Virginia has Obama done more physical campaigning than in Iowa, and it appears to have paid off. Since April, he’s made seven visits and held 15 different events in the state, compared with Romney’s seven visits but just seven events. Re-read the comparison again -- this is a regular discrepancy between the Obama and Romney campaigns. The president packs in a lot more events, on average, when he visits a battleground state than Romney does.

trying desperately to keep Romney on the table in Iowa.

Look how they stand out:

Rasmussen 9/19 - 9/19 500 LV 44 47 5 Romney +3
NBC/WSJ/Marist NEW! 9/16 - 9/18 898 LV 50 42 7 Obama +8
YouGov 9/7 - 9/14 700 LV 48 43 5 Obama +5
PPP (D) 8/23 - 8/26 1,244 LV 47 45 8 Obama +2
Rasmussen 8/8 - 8/8 500 LV 44 46 6 Romney +2
PPP (D) 7/12 - 7/15 1,131 LV 48 43 9 Obama +5
We Ask America 6/18 - 6/18 1,086 LV 45 44 11 Obama +1
Rasmussen 6/11 - 6/11 500 LV 46 47 4 Romney +1
NBC/Marist 5/22 - 5/24 1,106 RV 44 44 10 -
PPP (D) 5/3 - 5/6 1,181 LV 51 41 8 Obama +10

I think Iowa is not a swing state any longer.
