Here's the newsflash from Quinnipiac's latest swing-state poll, released this morning:
"New York Sen. Hillary Clinton has inched ahead of her top Republican foe, former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani in Florida and Pennsylvania, and ties Giuliani in Ohio, her best showing so far in the three states as many voters re-evaluate their previous negative impression of her."
That means:
FL: Rudy 44% / Hillary 46%
OH: Rudy 43% / Hillary 43%
PA: Rudy 44% / Hillary 45%
This marks a slight improvement for Mrs. Clinton over the last time this poll was taken in late June.
As for both parties' primaries in the swing states: "Sen. Clinton has increased her substantial Democratic primary lead over Illinois Sen. Barack Obama to 25 points in Ohio, 16 points in Pennsylvania and 30 points in Florida, the first big state to hold a primary, scheduled for January 29, 2008, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University poll finds. Giuliani is treading water in the Republican primary, holding leads over Arizona Sen. John McCain or former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson of seven points in Florida, 18 points in Ohio and 13 points in Pennsylvania."
