Poll gives Romney edge in Ohio as battleground contest tightens

A new poll shows Mitt Romney 2 points ahead of President Obama in Ohio, in the latest survey showing the vital battleground contest tightening and too close to call. The Rasmussen Reports poll of likely voters had Romney slightly ahead at 50-48 percent. The lead, though, was well within the 4-point margin of error -- the results effectively reflect a virtual tie in the Buckeye State.
Another poll released over the weekend, by the Ohio News Organization, showed the candidates knotted up at 49 percent each.
The polling, though, appears to show Ohio falling well into toss-up territory -- despite Obama having the edge in most surveys leading up to October. The RealClearPolitics average of polls shows Obama with a 1.9 percentage point lead there.
Ohio and its 18 electoral votes are considered vital to victory on Election Day, and particularly to Romney's campaign. The Republican nominee attended a rally in the state Monday morning, while Vice President Biden has scheduled one later in the day in Youngstown, Ohio, while Obama stays in Washington to deal with Hurricane Sandy.
The Rasmussen poll showed a big split between those who voted early and those who plan to vote on or closer to Election Day. For the one-third of voters who already cast their ballots, Obama was leading 62-36 percent. Romney, though, had a big lead among those who haven't voted yet.

It's pretty clear now that after the debates Romney is leading and his momentum is continuing, the only thing I worry about is the early voting.

Remember Obama in 2008 whining about "If you don't have a record to run on, then you paint your opponent as someone people should run from." He did a pretty good job at painting, in fact his hypocrisy was masterful!

Whats all this voting talk?

We are just watching the side shows waiting to see who they picked for us.

Its like the watching the dude at a WWE fight who actually thinks his guy has a chance that night. It's kinda sad.

[h=1]Romney Distorts Facts on Jeep, Auto Bailout[/h]Let’s take the claim about China first, since it has emerged as a new talking point for Romney. He made a similar — and outright false — claim during an Oct. 25 campaign speech in Ohio. In Defiance, Ohio, Romney said: “One of the great manufacturers in this state, Jeep, now owned by the Italians, is thinking of moving all production to China.”

That’s simply not true, and Chrysler has said so.


Romney was flat wrong when he said in his speech that Chrysler “is thinking of moving all production to China,” and his ad is misleading

let's suppose the desperate righties, who are choosing to ignore 99.9% of polls to focus on a single outlier, are right and romney takes ohio.



LOL!

we won't even talk about virginia or florida, both of which are tied.

Hurrican Sandy is Republican. Romney has the remote, sent from Alaska.

A nuke was just too obvious.

it is from university of virginia center for politics, but you can go to 270towin.com and draw your own map.

hell, go ahead and give iowa and colorado to romney, and give virginia to obama, he still wins 270 to 268.

It looks close.

you guys know the only reason to bring up polls is because republicans would rather talk about ANYTHING other than the romney/ryan ticket's policy specifics... because we don't know them... they'd rather attack obama's every word, rather than discuss the republican platform.....

it's a smoke and mirrors game they're trying to dumb americans into....

We all know why Democrats are attacking Romney/Ryan 24/7 and it is because they dont have a platform to run on except *forward* over the cliff....

Karl Rove tactics work.
You attack your opponents strenghts and attribute your weakness's to them
Oh and then you have a bunch of idiots on the internet parroting your talking points
