Quote:
The economy is the most important issue, 59 percent of Pennsylvania voters say, and voters trust Obama more than McCain 55 - 36 percent to handle this issue, compared to 50 - 39 percent pre-debate. By a 48 - 45 percent margin, voters trust McCain more to handle foreign policy, compared to 53 - 39 percent pre-debate.Obama's role in trying to solve the economic crisis has been helpful more than harmful, voters say 51 - 15 percent, compared to 39 - 35 percent for McCain. Pennsylvania voters oppose the $700 billion economic rescue plan 46 - 33 percent.
"Pennsylvania is back in its role as the most Democratic swing state in the 2008 election, mainly because voters believe that Sen. Obama will do a better job handling the economy. Three quarters of voters say economic issues, including energy and health care, are the most important in this campaign and Obama wins big on every economy-related question in the poll. Sen. McCain can't win Pennsylvania with just 36 percent of voters saying he is the candidate for the economy," said Clay F. Richards, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.
