http://2012.talkingpointsmemo.com/2012/06/barack-obama-mitt-romney-ohio-pennsylvania-florida-poll-quinnipiac.phpEarning high marks from voters for his new immigration policy, President Barack Obama leads Mitt Romney in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida in a new poll from Quinnipiac University released Wednesday.
The presidents largest lead is in Ohio, where he tops Romney, 47 percent to 38 percent. Obama is strengthened in the Buckeye State by advantages over Romney among both women and independent voters. Women widely prefer Obama over the presumptive Republican nominee, 50 percent to 35 percent, and the president holds a solid lead with independents, 45 percent to 36 percent. Ohio voters also say that Obama would do a better job than Romney on the economy by a 5-point margin, 47 percent to 42 percent.
In Pennsylvania where Democrats have carried the last five presidential elections Obama leads Romney, 45 percent to 39 percent. Much like in Ohio, the president is bolstered in Pennsylvania by an edge with women voters, 48 percent to 36 percent. But Pennsylvania voters are evenly split on the question of who would do a better job on the economy.
Obamas smallest lead in the poll is in Florida, where he edges Romney, 45 percent to 41 percent. But Latino voters in the Sunshine State overwhelmingly back the president, 56 percent to 32 percent. That amounts to a considerable bump for Obama among the burgeoning voting bloc since Quinnipiacs June 21 poll of Florida, which showed the president leading Romney by 10-points among Latino voters in the state. Obamas gains with Florida Latinos suggest that his directive to halt the deportation of some undocumented immigrants is bearing political fruit.

I'll admit, about a year ago at this time, I had pretty much written Obama off

I was sure he was going to lose. But now I think he's going to clean Romney's clock. And that's going to be a lot of fun to watch the freeper's heads explode.

That's a good thing, by the way.
