Sarah Palin Watch: Palin Boosts McCain in Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania

Three polls out today from Quinnipiac University indicate that the Sarah Palin choice by John McCain as his Vice Presidential running mate has boosted his chances in three battleground states – Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

The new Quinnipiac University swing state poll finds that Palin is helping McCain pull away from his Democrat rival in Florida and is narrowing the gap in Pennsylvania.

• Florida: McCain 50, Obama 43

• Ohio: Obama 49, McCain 44

• Pennsylvania: Obama 48, McCain 45

Dates conducted: Sept. 5-9. Error margin: 3.1 points (2.7 points in Ohio).

The polls are here.

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.

“White women, a key demographic group in any national election, appear to be in play, with some movement towards Sen. McCain in Pennsylvania and Ohio,” said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. “Obviously Gov. Sarah Palin is having the impact that Sen. McCain hoped when he selected her.”

Looking at the Electoral College map it is readily apparent that Barack Obama’s 50 state campaign is a failure and that should Obama lose Pennsylvania (where Hillary Clinton bashed Obama among working class voters, coupled with Obama’s bitter-gate remarks about guns and religion) the race is won by McCain-Palin.

And, where is John McCain on 9/11 – Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
