Obama continues his lead in swing states of Ohio, Pa., Fla., poll shows

COLUMBUS — Barack Obama continues to outpace John McCain in three key battleground states, according to a new Quinnipiac University poll released today.

The Democratic presidential hopeful increased his standing in Ohio, with 52 percent of likely voters leaning in his direction, compared to 38 percent for his Republican counterpart.

That compares to the Quinnipiac Polling Institute results earlier this month of 50 percent to 42 percent.

Obama also leads McCain in Florida (49 percent to 44 percent) and Pennsylvania (53 percent to 40 percent), though his overall support waned slightly in both of those states.
