Poll gives Obama edge in Pennsylvania (many undecided)
CNN ^ | June 12, 2012 | Kevin Liptak

The latest poll in Pennsylvania gives President Barack Obama a six point lead over his Republican challenger Mitt Romney, though voters in the Keystone State say Romney would do a better job fixing the nation's troubled economy.

The poll from Quinnipiac University indicated Obama leading Romney 46%-40%. The president's lead was bolstered by strong advantages over Romney among women and independents – 51% of women back Obama, compared to 36% who support Romney. Forty-three percent of independents say they would vote for Obama, compared to 35% who would go for Romney.

Voters were more confident in how a President Romney would handle the economy. Forty-nine percent say the former Massachusetts governor and two-time presidential candidate would better handle the economy, compared to 41% who named Obama. Forty-five percent said Romney would create more jobs as president, while 43% said Obama would be stronger on job creation.

This poll reminds me of the phony polls the media gave us when Reagan ran against Carter.

There will be an October surprise. Bank on it.

I'm thinking something along the lines of a war with Iran and/or Syria. Bombing at least. Some of us lived through the Serbian wag the dog situation. If Clinton started a war to deflect attention from a blow job, imagine what this guy is capable of.

Oh, I do. I dread it. I can only hope the Romney campaign has one planned, too.

The undecided vote in this poll is quite large.

Quinnipiac is a$$ so it might even be closer.
