Q poll: Obama surges ahead of McCain in FLA
June 18, 2008 at 12:19 pm by Wayne GarciaHorse race journalism warning: the latest polling shows Obama ahead of McCain in three key states, including Florida.
WMNF Evening News anchor Mitch Perry grabbed me on the way out of the Iorio newser this morning to announce her new city attorney and asked, “What do you think of the new Quinnipiac poll that shows Obama ahead in Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania?” In my rush out the door to city hall, I hadn’t seen the change.
Clearly, if the polling is accurate, and that’s always a caveat even though in this case the Q polls have been pretty well done, Obama is getting a good bounce from having HRC out of the race, and many HRC supporters must have gotten over their loss pretty quickly. McCain had been ahead in Florida by as much as 10 points recently, so Obama moving ahead is quite a swing.
