Quinnipiac Poll Shows Obama Leading Ohio, Clinton On Ticket No Help For Dems

The latest Quinnipiac Poll has a few surprises in it. The headline on the poll pretty much says it all:

OBAMA LEADS McCAIN IN FLORIDA, OHIO, PENNSYLVANIA, QUINNIPIAC UNIVERSITY SWING STATE POLL FINDS; CLINTON ON THE TICKET DOES NOT HELP DEMS

Can't beat that, now can you?

Specifically the poll shows:

  • Florida: Obama edges McCain 47 โ€“ 43 percent
  • Ohio: Obama tops McCain 48 โ€“ 42 percent
  • Pennsylvania: Obama leads McCain 52 โ€“ 40 percent

The poll also shows that while Democrats prefer the idea of having Clinton as VP, Republicans and Independents are firmly against it.

And Bush's approval rating in Ohio? A paltry 22%.
