States Swinging Toward Obama

Looks like the Clintonistas and the MSM read it all wrong, huh?

So what else is new?

This just confirms what I
already knew.

"Obama leading McCain in key states, poll suggests

For the first time, Barack Obama leads John McCain in all three key swing states of Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, according to polls released yesterday.

The Quinnipiac University surveys suggest strong backing from blacks, women, and younger voters has pushed Obama into the lead. Obama has a 47 percent to 43 percent lead in Florida; a 48 percent to 42 percent edge in Ohio; and a 52 percent to 40 percent lead in Pennsylvania.

In the three states, Obama leads McCain by 10 to 23 percentage points among women, although the candidates are even among men.

Obama trails among white voters in Florida and Ohio, but gets more than 90 percent of black voters in each state, the polls said.

He also has double-digit leads among young voters in each state.

Researchers noted that no one has been elected president since 1960 without winning at least two of the three big states, which together hold 68 of the 270 electoral votes needed.

The polls were conducted from June 9 to June 16 in each state, and had a margin of error of 2.6 percentage points in Florida and Ohio, and 2.5 percentage points in Pennsylvania (Boston Globe June 19 2008)."

Of course, that was just a brief.

The REALLY IMPORTANT POLL is HERE

Also:

"Closing Arguments: How Will Bush's Disapproval Ratings Affect McCain's Chances?"

"A new ABC News/Washington Post poll highlights a discouraging situation for President Bush and possibly for the Republican party. According to the new figures, George W. Bush's disapproval ratings have reached a record for any president since 1938. 68% of Americans disapprove of the job he is doing. That tops Truman's 67% and Nixon's 66%."

Bye-bye, McCain!!!
