The collapsing financial system and the public’s response to last week’s presidential debate propelled Barack Obama into his broadest opinion poll lead over John McCain since the Democratic convention in late August.
Polls released on Wednesday showed Mr Obama had taken a strong lead over Mr McCain in the important swing states of Ohio and Florida, which have tipped the outcome of previous contests.
According to a Quinnipiac University poll, Mr Obama leads Mr McCain by 51 to 43 per cent in Florida, by 50 to 42 per cent in Ohio and by 54 to 39 per cent in Pennsylvania. The two were much closer before last Friday’s debate, where most observers agreed Mr Obama’s performance made him look more presidential.
In addition, a poll on Wednesday by the Pew Research Centre showed Mr Obama with a national lead of 49 per cent to 42 per cent after being in a dead heat for most of September. It also showed voters trusted Mr Obama over Mr McCain to handle the continuing financial crisis by a margin of 46 per cent to 33 per cent.
