Latest Poll Gives President Leads In Ohio, Florida And Penn.

President Obama leads Gov. Mitt Romney in the key swing states of Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania, according to poll results released Wednesday morning. The Quinnipiac poll showed Obama leading Romney 47-41 in Ohio, 49-42 in Florida, and 45-42 in Pennsylvania. Romney’s favorable/unfavorable splits were 41/36 in Florida, 36/43 in Ohio and 37/38 in Pennsylvania. "President Barack Obama is on a roll in the key swing states. If the election were today, he would carry at least two states. And if history repeats itself, that means he would be re- elected," Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute, said in a statement accompanying the poll results. The poll’s margin of error is 2.8 percent.
