Quinnipiac University’s latest swing-state polling suggests that Barack Obama’s foreign tour didn’t help him at home.

Since the last Quinnipiac poll six weeks ago, Republican presidential candidate John McCain has pulled within the poll’s margin of error in Florida and Ohio and halved Democratic candidate Obama’s lead in Pennsylvania. In both Florida and Ohio, 46% of likely voters supported Obama compared with 44% for McCain, while Obama leads McCain 49% to 42% in Pennsylvania, down from a 12-point lead in June.

The polling was conducted during and after Obama’s trip to Afghanistan, Iraq, elsewhere in the Middle East and to Europe. The Quinnipiac pollsters suggested his narrowing lead may simply be a let-down after the boost he received after winning the Democratic primary battle, but they also pointed out that voters view the economy and energy, not Iraq, as the top issues.

It looks like the Obamafraud's audition for commander in chief was a miserable flop. Most people recognize a poser when they see one. The Obamafraud is a poser.
