Hillary Clinton is stronger than Barack Obama when pitted against John McCain, according to new polls of three major states that tend to swing between Democrats and Republicans in November elections.
A Quinnipiac University survey released Wednesday found that, thanks largely to white voters, Clinton leads presumptive Republican nominee McCain in Ohio, Florida and Pennsylvania, while Obama trails the Arizona senator in Florida and leads him by narrower margins in Ohio and Pennsylvania.
The results:
-Florida: Clinton 44 percent, McCain 42 percent; McCain 46 percent, Obama 37 percent.
-Ohio: Clinton 48 percent, McCain 39 percent; Obama 43 percent, McCain 42 percent.
-Pennsylvania: Clinton 48 percent, McCain 40 percent; Obama 43 percent, McCain 39 percent.

"At least for now, Senator Clinton's argument that she is the better general-election candidate in these key battleground states appears to have some validity," said Peter Brown, Quinnipiac poll assistant director. "In this survey," he said, "her strength among white voters is why she runs better against Senator McCain than does Senator Obama."
