October 29, 2008 - Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania Tighten Up In Final Week, Quinnipiac University Swing State Poll Finds; Obama Out Front, But Florida Is Too Close To Call --- FLORIDA: Obama 47 - McCain 45; OHIO: Obama 51 - McCain 42; PENNSYLVANIA: Obama 53 - McCain 41

With six days to go Sen. Barack Obama is holding off what appears to be a too-little, too-late move by Republican Sen. John McCain in Ohio and Pennsylvania, but the Democrat's two-point lead among likely voters in Florida leaves that state too close to call, according to simultaneous Quinnipiac University Swing State polls released today.

No one has been elected President since 1960 without taking two of these three largest swing states in the Electoral College. Results from the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University polls show:
Florida: Obama 47 to McCain's 45 percent, compared to 49 - 44 percent October 23;
Ohio: Obama up 51 - 42 percent, compared to 52 - 38 percent;
Pennsylvania: Obama ahead 53 - 41 percent, compared to 53 - 40 percent last time.

1. McCain's come nowhere near making up what he needs

He's getting into the territory of needing to make up 2 percentage points a day to get back into it in Ohio and Pennsylvania.

3. That's the most promising trend we've seen in the past couple days.

I would love so see Ohio go BLUE.
