Here are the latest results from the Pennsylvania poll by Rasmussen Reports published on USAElectionPolls.com:
There were 500 voters polled on 10/27.
| Rasmussen Reports Date: 10/27 Pennsylvania Added: 10/28/08 |
|
| Barack Obama | 53% |
| John McCain | 46% |
Quote:
Not coincidentally, Obama’s current lead is matched by a seven-point advantage on the question of which candidate is trusted more on the economy.However, while McCain has closed the gap, virtually all the movement comes from an increase in his support rather than a loss of support for Obama. This is the third straight poll showing Obama’s support at or above the 50% level.
Still, the tightening poll results help explain why the Obama campaign has been paying so much attention to the Keystone State this week. Obama and Biden are both campaigning there along with major campaign surrogates.
Obama is now viewed favorably by 56% of Pennsylvania voters, down three points from earlier in the month.
McCain’s favorability ratings have been moving in the opposite direction, up four points to 54%.
