Quinnipiac University has unveiled a September 11 survey of three key swing states, FLA, Ohio, and PA. The data reflect a positive bounce for McCain based on the Palin choice in all three states, but show Obama ahead in two of the three. From Quinnipiac:

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: McCain leads 50 – 43 percent, compared to 47 – 43 percent August 26;
Ohio: Obama is up 49 – 44 percent, compared to 44 – 43 percent last time;
Pennsylvania: Obama leads 48 – 45 percent, compared to 49 – 42 percent.

Voters in all three states say Sen. McCain’s selection of Gov. Palin is a good choice: 60 – 26 percent in Florida, 57 – 30 percent in Ohio and 55 – 33 percent in Pennsylvania.

Since August 26, McCain’s support among white women is up four percentage points in Ohio and five points in Pennsylvania, and dropped two points in Florida, where it was high to start.

So Obama has taken the hard shots of the past week and stayed ahead in Ohio and PA. As we all know the key battleground states are still tilting in Obama’s favor. Maybe it is time for another peek at the electoral map exercise put out by the Washington Post.
