Good polls for Obama in key swing states of Florida, Pennsylvania, and Ohio

By Richard K. Barry

It's easy to ignore numbers like this, much as we're all experiencing a bit of polling overload. Still, it's good news for the Obama campaign that brand new Quinnipiac/New York Times/CBS surveys show Obama leading Romney among likely voters in Florida (51%-45%), Ohio (50%-44%), and Pennsylvania (53%-42%). The key there is "likely voters."

Here's a clip of Quinnipiac Assistant Director Tim Malloy discussing the poll results. It's packed with information, much of it we already know. One thing, which we have also heard before, is that most voters have made up their minds in the three swing states. Only 4% say they are undecided. Of those who have made up their minds, only 10% say they could change their minds.

Just think of the money that's going to be spent to sway so few. It's obscene, really.
