Quinnipiac University Poll
Date: 9/5-9
Pennsylvania
Added: 9/11/08
Barack Obama 48%
John McCain 45%
Unsure 6%
Other 1%

Quote:

Obama leads 51 - 41 percent with women, compared to 53 - 37 percent August 26. McCain leads 51 - 45 percent among men. Obama leads 58 - 38 percent among voters 18 to 34 years old and gets 49 percent of voters 35 to 54 to McCain's 47 percent. Voters over 55 back McCain 50 - 43 percent.

Independent voters split with 45 percent for the Republican and 44 percent for the Democrat. This compares to a 48 - 38 percent Obama lead August 26. Among former Clinton supporters, 22 percent support McCain, compared to 25 percent August 26.

McCain gets a 54 - 34 percent favorability, compared to Obama's 56 - 29 percent. Palin's favorability is 39 - 26 percent, while Biden gets a 53 - 22 percent score.

The economy is the most important issue, 51 percent of Pennsylvania voters say, while 12 percent list the war in Iraq; 11 percent cite health care; 10 percent list energy policy and 8 percent say terrorism.

The choice of a vice presidential candidate will have little impact on their November vote, 59 percent of Pennsylvania likely voters say.

"Sen. McCain has narrowed the gap in Pennsylvania by wiping out Sen. Obama's lead among independent voters. But Obama still holds a three-point edge by convincing previously uncommitted Hillary Clinton primary voters and Catholics to move into his camp - the Catholics perhaps because of some help from running mate Joe Biden, a Catholic from Scranton," said Clay F. Richards, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.

Too bad for the Republicans that they didn't plan their convention right before the race, before people got to see the real Palin. The more she is questioned, the less ready she looks. I wonder if she's still repeating the 'I was against the bridge to nowhere' lie in her stump speech? I'll bet she quietly 'forgets' that part in her next speech...
