1 Peter A. Brown, Assistant Director, Clay F. Richards, Assistant Director, Quinnipiac University Polling Institute (203) Rubenstein Associates, Inc., Public Relations Pat Smith (212) FOR RELEASE: JULY 24, 2008 McCAIN CLOSES IN ON OBAMA IN FOUR BATTLEGROUND STATES, QUINNIPIAC UNIVERSITY/WALL STREET JOURNAL/ WASHINGTONPOST.COM POLL FINDS --- COLORADO: McCain 46 Obama 44 MICHIGAN: Obama 46 - McCain 42 MINNESOTA: Obama 46 - McCain 44 WISCONSIN: Obama 50 - McCain 39 Arizona Sen. John McCain has inched ahead of Illinois Sen. Barack Obama in Colorado; come within inches in Minnesota and narrowed the gap in Michigan and Wisconsin, according to four simultaneous Quinnipiac University polls of likely voters in these battleground states, conducted in partnership with The Wall Street Journal and washingtonpost.com and released today. Voters in each state say energy policy is more important than the war in Iraq. And by margins of 22 to 31 percentage points, voters in each state support offshore oil drilling, and by seven to 12-point margins, drilling in the Alaskan National Wildlife Refuge. Sen. McCain has picked up support in almost every group in every state, especially among independent voters and men voters. The Republican now leads Obama among independent voters in Michigan and Minnesota. Overall results show: Colorado: McCain is up by a nose percent, compared to a percent Obama lead June 26; Michigan: Obama tops McCain percent, compared to a percent lead last time; Minnesota: Obama edges ahead percent, compared to a percent Obama lead; Wisconsin: Obama leads McCain percent, compared to percent. Sen. Barack Obama s post-primary bubble hasn t burst, but it is leaking a bit. It s been a good month for Sen. John McCain. His movement in these key states, not large except for Minnesota, jibes with the tightening we are seeing in the national polls, said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. -more-

2 Quinnipiac University Poll/July 24, 2008 page 2 The good news for McCain is that he has improved his standing in Colorado and Michigan, two states that are critical to each man s strategy. Obama wants to break through in the Rocky Mountain and Southwestern states that have been going Republican for decades. McCain sees recently Democratic Michigan as his top takeaway target, Brown added. One reason for McCain s progress may be the energy issue. The results show increased support for additional drilling which McCain supports and Obama opposes. Roughly one in ten voters say they have changed their minds and now favor drilling because of the jump in energy prices. They support Obama, but with voters saying that the energy issue is now more important to their presidential vote than is the war in Iraq, this group represents an opportunity for the Republican. Voters are even more closely divided when it comes to which candidate s spouse best fits the image of a First Lady than they are in their vote for president. President Bush s approval ratings are: percent in Colorado; percent in Michigan; percent in Minnesota; percent in Wisconsin. Colorado Obama leads percent among Colorado women likely voters, while men back McCain percent. White voters back McCain percent as Hispanic voters go with Obama percent. Obama leads percent with voters 18 to 34 years old, while voters 35 to 54 are tied percent. McCain leads percent among voters over 55. Voters say percent that Cindy McCain better fits their idea of a First Lady than Michelle Obama. Men prefer Ms. McCain percent while women split with 33 percent for Ms. Obama and 32 percent for Ms. McCain. Not surprisingly, Obama s strength is in the Denver/Boulder precincts where he leads almost two-to-one, while he trails everywhere else in the state. As the presidential race has tilted a bit toward McCain, GOP Senate candidate Bob Schaffer has moved into a dead heat after trailing Democrat Mark Udall by 10 points a month ago, Brown said. In the U.S. Senate race, U.S. Rep. Mark Udall, the Democrat, and Republican Robert Schaffer are tied percent, compared to a percent Udall lead June 26. -more-

3 Quinnipiac University Poll/July 24, 2008 page 3 Colorado voters support percent a constitutional amendment outlawing discrimination or preferential treatment in public employment, contracting or education. By a percent margin, Colorado voters say a candidate s position on energy policy is more important than their position on the war in Iraq. Voter split percent on which candidate has the best energy policy, with 34 percent undecided. Michigan Michigan women voters back Obama percent, while men back McCain percent. White voters back McCain percent, as black voters support Obama 90 4 percent. The Democrat leads percent among voters 18 to 34, a big drop, and squeaks by percent among voters 35 to 54. Voters over 55 tie percent. Voters split on who better fits their idea of a First Lady, with Obama at 29 percent and McCain at 28 percent. Women prefer Obama percent as men like McCain percent. A candidate s energy policy is more important than his position on the war in Iraq, Michigan likely voters say percent. Obama has the best program for helping solve the crisis and making America less dependent on foreign oil, voters say percent. Obama and McCain are doing equally well in raiding the other party s base: Ten percent of 2004 Kerry voters favor McCain, while 13 percent of 2004 Bush backers are with Obama. In order to close the gap, McCain needs to do a little bit better winning back the Democrats who voted for Ronald Reagan and their children, Brown said. Minnesota Obama tops McCain percent with women, while men back McCain percent. White voters split percent. The Democrat leads percent among voters 18 to 34 years old. Voters 35 to 54 split, with 45 percent for Obama and 44 percent for McCain with the Democrat up percent among voters over 55. In the First Lady contest, 28 percent prefer Obama while 26 percent back McCain. Women back Obama percent and men back McCain percent. By a percent margin, Minnesota voters say a candidate s energy policy is more important than his policy on the war in Iraq. And voters say percent, with 40 percent undecided, that Obama has the best energy policy. -more-

4 Quinnipiac University Poll/July 24, 2008 page 4 In the Minnesota U.S. Senate race, Republican incumbent Sen. Norm Coleman tops Democrat Al Franken percent, compared to percent June 26. Sen. McCain is gaining strength, particularly among younger voters, independents and the Twin Cities suburbs, but the situation remains fluid with more than a third of independent voters saying their minds are not yet made up, said Clay F. Richards, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. Democrat Al Franken still faces an uphill battle in his quest to unseat Sen. Norm Coleman, with almost 20 percent of the voters in his own party voting for the Republican incumbent. Wisconsin Wisconsin women likely voters back Obama percent while men back McCain percent. White voters back Obama percent. He leads percent among voters 18 to 34 years old, percent among voters 35 to 54 years old and percent among voters over 55. Voters split on which spouse better fits their idea of a First Lady, with 29 percent for Obama and 28 percent for McCain. Women like Obama percent, while men like McCain percent. Wisconsin voters say percent that a candidate s energy policy is more important than his policy for the war in Iraq, and say percent that Obama has the best energy policy. Wisconsin remains the most liberal of swing states, giving Obama a comfortable doubledigit lead, although men and Catholics prefer McCain. As it is everywhere, energy is emerging as a dominant campaign issue. Wisconsin voters feel Obama is the best candidate to address the energy crisis, Richards said. From July 14 22, Quinnipiac University surveyed: 1,425 Colorado likely voters with a margin of error of +/- 2.6 percent; 1,684 Michigan likely voters with a margin of error of +/- 2.4 percent; 1,261 Minnesota likely voters with a margin of error of +/- 2.8 percent; 1,094 Wisconsin likely voters with a margin of error of +/- 3 percent. The Quinnipiac University Poll, directed by Douglas Schwartz, Ph.D., conducts public opinion surveys in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Florida, Ohio and nationwide as a public service and for research. These surveys of Colorado, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan are conducted in partnership with The Wall Street Journal and washingtonpost.com. For more data -- or call (203)
