Obama Leads In Swing States

Posted by: Joseph Spector - Posted in Uncategorized on Oct 14, 2008

Barack Obama is receiving over 50 percent of support from voters in the battleground states of Colorado, Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin, and for the first time leads or ties John McCain among white voters in those states, according to a Quinnipiac University poll today.
—Colorado: Obama leads 52–43 percent—Michigan: Obama is up 54-38 percent—Minnesota: Obama leads 51–40 percent—Wisconsin: Obama leads 54–37 percent

Meanwhile, a Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby daily tracking poll has Obama up 49 percent to 43 percent nationally, moving him outside the poll’s margin of error.

One Response to “Obama Leads In Swing States”

   this serves to illustrate that momentum is now in Obama’s
   favor…tomorrow nights debate may stop that or may
   help in even more…after tomorrow night barring some
   international military conflagration (like Israel bombing
   Iran..don’t rule it out according to my sources)
   the focus will still be on the economy and unless McCain
   can address that issue in terms that the average voter
   understands and agrees with ..the election will be
   all but over…including factoring in any possible
   “bradley effect”
