Obama, McCain Can Both Find Hope in Some Battleground States

| | Comments (0)

Barack Obama's recent campaigning in Michigan may have paid off this week: in the latest Public Policy Polling (PPP) survey, he leads John McCain, 48-39 percent. The poll was conducted June 21-22 and the margin of error is +/- 4.1 percent.

The pollsters write: "This is the second week in a row PPP has found Democrats in a large Midwestern state unifying around Obama since Hillary Clinton dropped out and endorsed him. Last week PPP showed Obama with a 50-39 edge in Ohio."

On Monday, Rasmussen reported that Obama has a four-point lead over John McCain in Pennsylvania 46 -42, a slight gain from May's results of 45-43. The margin of error was +/- 3 percent. The pollsters say: "Obama's gains have come primarily among men--the candidates are now virtually even among males."

Meanwhile, in Missouri, Survey USA found that McCain is leading Obama, 50-43 percent. The poll, which was released yesterday, had a margin of error of +/-4.3 percentage points.

In the most recent poll of Florida, Rasmussen reported last week that McCain was leading, 47-39.
