Philadelphia Inquirer polls for PA & NJ: Obama dominating

Hard to believe that during the  Bush years, New Jersey was often viewed as a swing state and Bush competed for it.  As for PA, wish this poll had regional breakdowns. Curious if Obamas lead is all in Southeast or if he's also somewhat stabilized his weak standing in Southwest Pa, which could also offer some clues about how he will perform in eastern Ohio.

I think it's a combination of southwest PA "coming home" so to speak and the fact that Romney is clearly not contesting the state... which hasn't happened in... well, I don't know.  When was the last time the parties did not contest PA?

Romney will take NC by a couple of points... but his small lead is indicative of a lead for Obama overall.  Look at the polls coming out of the Democratic base states.  Huge leads in the Northeast, looking like he's going to hit 60% in CA, NY, IL, etc.  Romney needs to have NC in the bag before we can start talking like this is a neck-and-neck race.  Right now, Obama loses NC and IN and nothing else off the map.  That's 332 for him.
