PA POLL: Obama 51, McCrypt 42. CO POLL: Obama 53, McCrypt 45
Obama has firm leads in Colo., Pa.
By ALEXANDER BURNS | 10/28/08 12:05 PM EDT Text Size:

Barack Obama is firmly ahead of John McCain in both Colorado and Pennsylvania, a new Politico/InsiderAdvantage poll shows.

In the swing state of Colorado, Obama posts an 8-point lead over McCain, besting him 53 percent to 45 percent. He holds a similar advantage in Pennsylvania, where he tops McCain by 9 percentage points, 51 percent to 42 percent.

McCain, however, is fighting Obama to a draw in two of those states' key battleground counties: Jefferson County, a suburb of Denver, and Bucks County, in suburban Philadelphia.

In Jefferson, a onetime Republican stronghold that has become more competitive in recent years, McCain and Obama are statistically tied, with the Republican leading 47 percent to 45 percent.

That two-point margin matches the result of an Oct. 12 Politico/InsiderAdvantage survey, which showed McCain edging Obama in Jefferson, 45 percent to 43 percent, though in this week's poll there are half as many undecided.

Bucks County voters gave Obama a similarly thin, 3-point lead. The Illinois Democrat led McCain, 46 percent to 43 percent.

That margin represents an improvement for McCain over his previous performance in Bucks County. An Oct. 14 Politico/InsiderAdvantage survey gave Obama a 6-point lead there, showing him ahead of McCain, 47 percent to 41 percent.

2. Bucks County - so what?
Bucks County went for Kerry by 3% in 2004, and we won that state. So...who cares if Obama is "only" up 3% in Bucks County.
