Washington, Sep. 27 (ANI): President Barack Obama is surging ahead of his Republican rival Mitt Romney in the presidential race, as he has a considerable lead in key battleground states, a new poll has shown.
The NYT/Quinnipiac/CBS poll found that Obama has opened up a 10-point lead in Ohio and a 9-point lead in Florida, suggesting Romney continues to lose ground just weeks before the election.
In Ohio, which is an important state for a Republican to win the presidency, Obama is leading over Romney with 53 to 43 percent.
In Florida, Obama is leading over Romney with 53 to 44 percent.
According to Politico, the surveys also included a Pennsylvania poll, where Obama is leading Romney by 12 percentage points.
The polls were conducted as the Romney campaign grappled with fallout last week from the release of his tax returns and remarks he made at a fund-raiser in which he bluntly suggested that 47 percent of Americans saw themselves as victims who are dependent on the government. (ANI)
