Polls: Clinton does better in the swing states

(CNN) — A new series of Quinnipiac polls out of Ohio, Florida, and Pennsylvania appear to bolster Hillary Clinton's argument that she is better positioned than Barack Obama to beat John McCain in the crucial swing states.

According to the polls released Thursday, Hillary Clinton would beat John McCain in all three states by wide margins while Barack Obama would lose to the Arizona senator in Ohio and Florida and narrowly beat McCain in Pennsylvania.

CNN Polling Director Keating Holland said the poll could be a "early-warning sign" for Democrats, though cautioned early polls often are not predictive.

Specifically, the poll found Clinton tops McCain in Florida by 7 points (48 percent to 41 percent), in Ohio by 7 points (48 percent to 41 percent) and in Pennsylvania by 13 percent (50 percent to 37 percent).

Meanwhile the poll finds McCain would beat Obama by 4 points in Florida (45-41 percent) and by 4 points in Ohio (44 percent to 40 percent). Obama beats McCain in Pennsylvania, but by a narrower margin than Clinton does — he beats McCain by 6 points there, 46 percent to 40 percent....

2. Too bad the real swing states where Hillary will lose for sure

due to her shenandigans, New Hampshire, Nevada, and Iowa (by lying about Florida and Michigan) (they know she's a liar).....and all of the Black folks and new/Young voters that won't be voting for her in a whole bunch of other states considering that she would have to steal the nomination at this point.

She actually doesn't "do" so well.

This is just propaganda coming from one polling outfit.

But what do you expect from our corporate media? :shrug:

3. Sorry the data upsets O - but O loses - Hill wins - deal with it - but not to worry

O wants to lose - refuses to unite party with Hill as VP - rather pander to the Obama fan club's Hill Hate.

Good luck in Nov.

4. propaganda?

it always makes me laugh when people call poll results propaganda when they run counter to their beliefs/desires/hopes but jump up and down for joy when those same polling outfits release data to support their beliefs/desires/hopes.

Never realized Quinnipiac was a right wing tool
