(Angus Reid Global Monitor) – Democrat Barack Obama leads Republican John McCain in the Keystone State, according to a review of the latest four voting intention polls. 52.3 per cent of voters in Pennsylvania would support the Illinois senator in today’s United States presidential election, while 43.8 per cent would back the Arizona senator.

Obama surpasses the 50 per cent mark in all six surveys.

In 2004, Democratic nominee John Kerry carried Pennsylvania’s 21 electoral votes, with 51 per cent of the vote. No Republican has won the Keystone State since George H. Bush in 1988.

U.S. president George W. Bush is ineligible for a third term in office. The U.S. presidential election is scheduled for Nov. 4.
