PPP: Obama Widens Leads In Iowa, Wisconsin After Final Debate

Source: TPM

One poll shows Obama holding a narrow lead over Mitt Romney among likely voters in Iowa 49 percent to 47 percent. That's a marginal improvement for Obama since PPP's survey of Iowa a week ago, which showed him leading by only a point.

Obama's lead over the Republican nominee is even larger in Wisconsin. Likely voters in the Badger State prefer the president over Romney 51 percent to 45 percent. The president's 6-point lead is a wider gap than his 2-point edge in PPP's poll there conducted immediately following the Oct. 3 debate in Denver.

Thursday's polls of each state were conducted after Monday's final presidential debate on behalf of Health Care for America Now, a group established to protect and promote the Affordable Care Act.

I have no doubt that Obama will win the electoral votes of both.

The reich-wing crazies don't have a chance.

NV is probably slightly more likely to go for Obama, but both are looking encouraging...
