Politico:Obama Ohio+10, Florida tied

[DeepBlueDem]

Sen. John McCain has improved his odds of capturing one of Florida’s most competitive counties at the same time a crucial Ohio battleground seems increasingly out of reach, according to a new Politico/InsiderAdvantage poll.

While Sen. Barack Obama has widened his lead in Ohio’s Franklin County, where Columbus is located, McCain has gained ground in Hillsborough County, which includes the city of Tampa and is one of the Sunshine State’s most competitive areas.

McCain trails Obama in Hillsborough by just two points, 46 percent to 44 percent. That represents a four-point improvement for McCain since Politico’s last Hillsborough survey, conducted October 12, which showed Obama leading 47 percent to 41 percent.

But Obama has strengthened his standing in Ohio’s Franklin County, where he currently holds an 11-point lead over McCain, outpacing the Republican nominee by 51 percent to 40 percent. Politico’s previous poll of Franklin County, conducted October 13, showed a closer race there, with Obama ahead by just five percentage points, 45 percent to 40 percent.

3. These are just county results.

Not state results.

Franklin County, OH = Columbus
Hillsborough County, FL = Tampa

If Obama can win Hillsborough County, he has a chance to win the state.
