Obama Leading Romney In Three Key Swing States

President Obama should be a happy man right now. Quinnipiac University released a series of polls taken in the all important swing states and the news for Obama is looking good.

In Florida, considered a must win, Obama tops Mitt Romney 49 percent to 42 percent; while beating Rick Santorum 50 percent to 37 percent.

In Ohio, no presidential candidate has won without securing this swing state, Obama beats Romney 47 to 41 percent and Santorum 47 to 40 percent.

In Pennsylvania, Santorum’s home state, Obama edges Romney 45 to 42 percent, while topping Santorum 48 to 41 percent. Interestingly enough when Santorum lost his Senate seat he was beaten by one of the largest margins in state history.

Being that the general election is pretty far away these polls are pretty useless but it gives Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum an idea of what they may face and the hurdles they face in the general election. Romney should be a lot more concerned about the recent Washington Post/ABC poll also released on Wednesday morning. Which found that when asked about their opinion of Mitt Romney, voters just plain don’t like him.

“In the new poll, 50 percent of all adults and 52 percent of registered voters express unfavorable opinions of Romney, both higher — although marginally — than Obama has received in Post-ABC polling as far back as late 2006. However, the biggest difference between Romney and Obama is on the other side of the ledger: 53 percent of Americans hold favorable views of the president; for Romney, that number slides to 34 percent.”

What do you think? Is Mitt Romney a visionary for America or just a tool?
