Huge Obama Leads in Battleground

Filed in National by on October 1, 2008

From Quinnipiac University poll:

FLORIDA: Obama 51, McCain 43

OHIO: Obama 50, McCain 42

PENNSYLVANIA: Obama 54, McCain 39

According to the internals, these polls were conducted entirely after the debate last Friday, on September 27-29.  The margin of error is 3.4%, which is standard  Now, given that polls taken on weekend tend to skew more towards Republicans (just because we Democrats have lives and are out doing stuff), the lead for Obama may be even larger.  The polls were also taken on Monday, the day of the bailout failure and stock market collapse, so maybe that gave Obama too much of a bounce.   Either way, I like these numbers.

    Chuck Todd referenced a poll on new voters. Obama was beating McCain (approx. 2 to 1).

    And, Jason, your headline might not be too far off. There’s another stunt on the horizon. I can feel it in my bones.

    Those numbers are pretty incredible. I’m skeptical, though.
