National Journal Poll: Obama up 10 in MN

The National Journal took a look at three critical swing states for John McCain. The paper has a poll that shows Barack Obama leading McCain in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. Here's a portion of the story:

John McCain's options for reaching an Electoral College majority are narrowing: Barack Obama has established double-digit leads in three of McCain's last remaining targets among the states that John Kerry carried in 2004, Allstate/National Journal battleground polls show.

In Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, the polls reveal that McCain is not merely running behind but is also facing deteriorating assessments of his personal qualities, widespread doubts about his running mate's qualifications, and tremendous discontent with President Bush's job performance. All of this is providing a powerful tailwind for Obama.
