Quinnipiac: Obama Leads in Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania, Opens National Lead In Zogby


I'm sensing a trend here.(and yes I know it's really too early to put much faith in polls, but we all need some happy to keep us going.)


The latest Quinnipiac Swing State polls shows Sen. Barack Obama -- with strong support among women, blacks and younger voters -- leading Sen. John McCain among likely voters in Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania The results show:

In Florida, Obama edges McCain 47% to 43%
In Ohio, Obama tops McCain 48% to 42%
In Pennsylvania, Obama leads McCain 52% to 40%


Notable: This is the first time Obama has led in all three states. No one has been elected President since 1960 without taking two of these three largest swing states in the Electoral College.

Sen. Barack Obama holds an edge over Sen. John McCain nationally, according to the latest Reuters/Zogby telephone survey.

Obama leads McCain, 47% to 42%, with 12% saying they prefer someone else or are not yet sure about their selection in the race.

Key findings: He holds a double-digit lead among women, while McCain holds a six-point lead among men. Both candidates are winning about four of every five voters from their own party, but Obama enjoys a substantial 22-point lead among political independents.
