Holy Hell QPAC has Obama up big in OH 52 - 38

[Perky]

No one has been elected President since 1960 without taking two of these three largest swing states in the Electoral College. Results from the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe- ack) University polls show:
Florida: Obama up 49 - 44 percent, compared to 51 - 43 percent October 1;
Ohio: Obama up 52 - 38 percent, widening an October 1 lead of 50 - 42 percent;
Pennsylvania: Obama ahead 53 - 40 percent, compared to 54 - 39 percent last time.

1. Among those who already voted, Obama's ahead in OH by 71-20, and FL 48-44

The Florida number isn't great, since Obama is supposed to have a 20+ point party ID advantage among those who already voted. Furthermore, this poll seems to have a slight Democratic lean. But then again, Republicans have a huge advantage in absentee ballots there, and maybe some people who are voting absentee are included in those who already voted early.

As for Obama's 71-20 margin of early voters in Ohio, all I can say is :wow:

4. Early voting could make the difference in Ohio this year.

They will have a harder time to steal those votes. There was no early voting in 2004.
But Quinnipiac should have mentioned how many % of their respondents have already voted early. It's hard to say how big this news is without the number.

5. The networks won't mention these
