“With commanding leads among women and young voters and near unanimous support from black voters,” Sen. Barack Obama has a 50% to 41% lead over Sen. John McCain, according to a new Quinnipiac poll of likely voters released today.
Independent voters split 44% to 44%. McCain has a slight 47% to 44% edge among men voters and a larger 49% to 42% lead among white voters. But black voters back Obama 94% to 1%, while women support him 55% to 36%.
Interesting: Obama gets 44% to McCain’s 47% in red states, which went Republican by more than 5 percent in 2004, and leads 50% to 39% in purple or swing states.
There’s a blowout in the making. I hear McCain is even going to start campaigning in Arizona, so as not to get the George McGovern-Al Gore treatment.
