John McCain has cut Barack Obama's Ohio lead more than in half over the past week and-a-half, but the Democrat still is ahead by 7 points, the final Quinnipiac Poll shows.
The university's poll of other swing states shows Obama up 10 in Pennsylvania, but his 2-point margin in Florida makes that state too close to call.

“Sen. Obama’s Ohio lead is based on his ability to be competitive among whites, even those without college degrees," said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute, in a release.

"He also is keeping Sen. McCain almost 15 points below the level of support among white evangelical Christians that President Bush received four years ago,” Brown said. “Who would have thought that would be the case last March when Obama lost the Ohio Democratic primary decisively to Sen. Hillary Clinton, mostly because of his weakness among white working class voters?”

McCain leads among white voters 48 percent to 45 percent and among evangelical Christians 59 percent to 34 percent. Obama leads with women, 57 percent to 34 percent; black voters 96 percent to 1 percent; and independents, 48 percent to 44 percent. Obama gets a favorable rating from 55 percent of Ohio voters, compared to 38 percent unfavorable. McCain's numers are 51 and 42 respectively.

1. Obama definetly doesn't need all three, but 2 out of three would

be nice.

3. If VA goes to us, Obama only needs one.

Two would be nice, icing on the cake.

Three would be a side of ice cream with that cake.
