Quinnipiac: Obama Leads By 6 In Ohio

Obama - 48%
McCain - 42%

Just yesterday, Public Policy Polling released a poll that found Obama leading by 11%. Personally, I’m going to trust Quinnipiac’s numbers for the time being.

The good news from this poll for Obama?

  • He holds a 12 point lead among women
  • He splits men and white, working class voters evenly with McCain
  • More McCain supporters say they’re likely to change their mind than Obama supporters

The good news for McCain? Well, he retains a small lead among men and 25% of those who backed Clinton during the primaries now back him…but that’s about it. Obama’s favorability numbers are much higher and 22% of Ohioians actually think McCain’s age could be a factor in their vote.

And on the topic of Hillary for VP? Independents aren’t too hot on it, but overall people narrowly favor the idea.

More as it develops…
