Final Quinnipiac: Obama Leads In Key Swing States


Almost too good to be true, but I'm enjoying the pundits trying to stretch this out into a horse race. Via Taegan.

The final Quinnipiac Swing State polls show Sen. Barack Obama leading Sen. John McCain in Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania. No one has been elected President since 1960 without taking two of these three largest swing states.

Florida: Obama 47%, McCain 45%

Ohio: Obama 50%, McCain 43%

Pennsylvania: Obama 52%, McCain 42%

Said pollster Peter Brown: "Sen. Obama appears headed for the best showing of any Democratic candidate among white voters in a generation, going back at least to Jimmy Carter in 1976 and perhaps even to Lyndon Johnson in 1964. Race has been an issue, but green, not black or white, appears to be the color that matters most. Voters overwhelmingly say the economy is the major issue that leads to their vote and they see Sen. Obama as better able to handle the nation's money problems."
