Quinnipiac Poll

An emerging Democratic coalition of women, minorities and younger voters is propelling Illinois Sen. Barack Obama to leads of five to 17 percentage points over Arizona Sen. John McCain among likely voters in the battleground states of Colorado, Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin," according to four Quinnipiac University polls released today, conducted with The Wall Street Journal and washingtonpost.com.

Sen. McCain's lead among white voters in Colorado and Michigan cuts the gap to single digits, but doesn't offset Sen. Obama's strength among other groups. The Democrat also leads by eight to 21 percentage points among independent voters in each state. Overall results show:

* Colorado: Obama leads McCain 49 - 44 percent, including 51 - 39 percent among independent voters;
* Michigan: Obama tops McCain 48 - 42 percent, with 46 - 38 percent among independents;
* Minnesota: Obama buries McCain 54 - 37 percent, and 54 - 33 percent with independents;
* Wisconsin: Obama leads McCain 52 - 39 percent, and 50 - 37 percent with independents.

Democrats would like Obama to pick Sen. Hillary Clinton as his running mate, but voters overall reject the idea. Independent voters oppose Sen. Clinton by 16 to 29 percentage points.

I also saw where McCain is winning TN big and is ahead 6 or 7 points in Mo. I agree it is along long time and anything can happen.
