Tuesday's Campaign Round-up

TUESDAY'S CAMPAIGN ROUND-UP....Today's installment of campaign-related news items that wouldn't generate a post of their own, but may be of interest to political observers:

* John McCain appeared on "The Tonight Show" last night, and Jay Leno joked about McCain's confusion over how many houses he owns. McCain responded by pointing to -- you guessed it -- his background as a former prisoner of war during Vietnam.

* Quinnipiac shows Obama leading McCain in Ohio by one, 44% to 43%. The same poll showed Obama up by two in July.

* Quinnipiac shows McCain leading Obama in Florida by four, 47% to 43%. The same poll showed Obama up by two in July.

* Quinnipiac shows Obama leading McCain in Pennsylvania by seven, 49% to 42%. This is unchanged from July.

* A Suffolk University poll shows Obama leading McCain in Colorado by five, 44% to 39%.

* A Detroit News poll shows Obama leading McCain in Michigan by two, 43% to 41%.

* A Columbus Dispatch poll shows Obama leading McCain in Ohio by one, 42% to 41%.
