Two polls paint bleak picture for McCain's Pa. chances

Barack Obama has a 13-point lead over John McCain in Pennsylvania, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday, further illuminating the uphill battle the Republican presidential nominee faces in the Keystone State.

The Democratic presidential nominee leads McCain 53 percent to 40 percent, the poll finds.

The majority of polls released in Pennsylvania show Obama with a double-digit lead -- his Real Clear Politics poll average stands at 10.5 percent.

The Quinnipiac poll reported Obama is ahead 59 percent to 35 percent with women and holds a narrow 47 percent 45 percent advantage with men in the state. White voters also favor Obama 49 percent to 44 percent, and black voters back him 92 percent to 3 percent.

Obama's favorability stands at 60 percent, while McCain's is at 51 percent.

Clay Richards, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute, said Obama leads "comfortably" over McCain because he is ahead in the state's critical four suburban Philadelphia counties -- Montgomery, Chester, Delaware and Bucks.

The poll surveyed 1,425 likely Pennsylvania voters from Oct. 16 to Oct. 21. It has a margin of error of 2.6 percent.

Another poll released Thursday also shows Obama owning at double-digit lead.

A Big Ten Battleground Poll reports Obama has a 52 percent to 41 percent lead over McCain in Pennsylvania.

The poll, conducted Oct. 19 through Oct. 22, surveyed 566 registered Pennsylvania voters.

Designed by a Swiss engineer http://www.mbtking.com and inspired by watching how the members of the Masai tribes of Africa walk, TheMBT M.Walk Shoes http://www.mbtking.com is part of the new line of MBT shoes http://www.mbtking.com which run slightly narrower, and have a slightly different feel. Gentle, active rolling instead of repeated compression leads to relaxed, natural standing and walking. Muscular tensions decrease and the muscles become more balanced. These shoes http://www.mbtking.com have all the benefits of the other styles like encouraging you to carry your weight more efficiently, promoting better posture, and creating a pleasant feeling of walking on a sandy beach.
