Robot/Zombie '12 Gets That Poll-Asked Look

That faint, thin, near-Biblical keening you were hearing all day at the upper registers of your detection?  The Romney campaign reading today's swing state numbers from a new OH/PA/FL poll from Quinnipiac University, commissioned by CBS News and the NY Times.  It's not just bad news for Robot/Zombie, it's pretty much a death blow.

President Barack Obama is over the magic 50 percent mark and tops Gov. Mitt Romney among likely voters by 9 to 12 percentage points in Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania, according to a Quinnipiac University/ CBS News/New York Times Swing State Poll released today.

Voters in each state see President Obama as better than Gov. Romney to handle the economy, health care, Medicare, national security, an international crisis and immigration. Romney ties or inches ahead of the president on handling the budget deficit. 

Yeah.  That's how bad it got after the 47% remarks.  President Obama is up 9 in Florida, 10 in Ohio, and 12 in Pennsylvania.  And the crosstabs are unrelentingly brutal for Romney.

Obama leads 60 - 35 percent among Ohio women likely voters, while men support Romney 52 - 44 percent. White voters back Romney by a narrow 49 - 46 percent, while 98 percent of black voters back the president. Independent voters are split with 47 percent for Romney and 46 percent for Obama. 

POTUS up 25 points among women, and Romney's lead among white voters is down to 3?  Night, folks.   It's just as bad in Florida...

Women likely voters back Obama 58 - 39 percent while men are divided with 50 percent for Romney and 47 percent for Obama. Hispanic voters go Democratic 55 - 41 percent while independent voters are split with 49 percent for Romney and 46 percent for Obama.

The economy is the most important issue for 47 percent of Florida voters, while 20 percent list health care; 10 percent list the budget deficit and 8 percent list national security.

The president would do a better job on health care, voters say 54 - 41 percent and do a better job on Medicare, voters say 55 - 40 percent. Voters over 55 say Obama would do a better job on Medicare 52 - 42 percent and back the president 53 - 45 percent.

So Romney's done in Ohio without a big advantage among white voters, and he's absolutely done in Florida if he's losing the Senior vote.  And in Pennsylvania?

Pennsylvania women likely voters back Obama 58 - 37 percent, while men split with 49 percent for Romney and 48 percent for the president. Independent voters are split 48 - 48 percent.

The economy is the most important issue for 48 percent of Pennsylvania voters, while 20 percent list health care; 11 percent list the budget deficit and 7 percent list national security.

The president would do a better job on health care, voters say 54 - 41 percent and do a better job on Medicare, voters say 55 - 39 percent. Voters over 55 say Obama would do a better job on Medicare 52 - 43 percent and back the president 50 - 46 percent.

Romney can only manage a split among men and independents, he's losing seniors, and Obama is winning women by 21.  Done.

Romney is done.   Now all we have to do is vote.

We'll be covering this in tonight's Podcast Vs the Stupid.
