New polls show President Barack Obama leading over Republican rival Mitt Romney in four states that could determine the outcome of the 2012 presidential race. Obama's strong showing comes despite evidence that his recent immigration decision hurt him with voters.
Quinnipiac University's swing state poll shows Obama leading in Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania, though in Florida the results are within the margin of error. A new Old Dominion University/Virginian-Pilot poll shows Obama leading in Virginia.
"President Barack Obama has decent margins over Gov. Mitt Romney in Ohio and Pennsylvania and a smaller advantage in Florida. If he can keep those leads in all three of these key swing states through election day he would be virtually assured of re-election," said Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute, in a statement.
Obama leads Romney 45 to 41 percent in Florida, 47 to 38 in Ohio, 45 to 39 percent in Pennsylvania and 49 to 42 percent in Virginia.
