Obama doing well in key states
http://publicpolicypolling.blogspot....ey-states.html
There's been a lot of good news for Barack Obama in the national polls lately and certainly that's important. But we still have this funny little electoral college so what's going to be most vital for his reelection prospects is how he does in the key swing states. And there's good news for him there as well.
So far we've done 2012 Presidential polls in 6 of the 9 states that George W. Bush won in 2004 but that Obama won in 2008. Obama leads 23 out of 24 hypothetical match ups that we've tested in those states.
Here's how it breaks down:
Obama vs. Gingrich
Florida +5
Iowa +13
Nevada +11
North Carolina +6
Ohio +6
Virginia +11
Obama vs. Huckabee
Florida +5
Iowa +4
Nevada +10
North Carolina -1
Ohio +1
Virginia +5
Obama vs. Palin
Florida +14
Iowa +16
Nevada +13
North Carolina +14
Ohio +7
Virgina +11
Obama vs Romney
Florida +2
Iowa +6
Nevada +1
North Carolina +3
Ohio +2
Virginia +5
Obama also wins Colorado. |
Still a long way to Nov 2012. In case you forgot when Nov 2012 is.
