34 days - Obama surges in big 3 swing states

The results of the latest Quinnipac poll are in;

- Florida: Obama up 49 - 43 percent pre-debate and 51 - 43 percent post-debate;

- Ohio: Obama up 49 - 42 percent pre-debate and 50 - 42 percent post-debate;

- Pennsylvania: Obama ahead 49 - 43 percent pre-debate and 54 - 39 percent post.

The significance can't be overstated. According to Quinnipac, "no one has been elected President since 1960 without taking two of these largest swing states". They go on to say that "it is hard to find a modern competitive race that has swung so dramatically... this late in the game"- this based on Obama's numbers surging 15 points in just 20 days.

While heartening, another poll, still shows Obama only one point ahead in FL.

Which brings up voter registration. The Florida deadline is October 6. Here are a few figures on young people who are yet to register to vote;
