"With every ounce of my energy, when I am president of the United States..." Romney today
Despite grim polls, Romney vows victory
WESTERVILLE, Ohio — Mitt Romney insisted he would win Ohio Wednesday, but new polls showed him needing a sharp turnaround in the must-win state if he is to grab the White House from President Barack Obama.
The Republican challenger paired up with golf legend Jack Nicklaus as he swung for a comeback in the key battleground, where Obama will touch down later in the day to seek to solidify a growing lead six weeks from election day.
Romney's struggling campaign absorbed a new blow Wednesday as fresh polls showed him trailing Obama by 53 percent to 43 percent in Ohio and by nine percent in the biggest battleground of Florida as voter attitudes harden.
The scenario outlined in Quinnipiac University/New York Times/CBS News polls would be ruinous to Romney if repeated in the election on November 6, because it would deprive him of a viable route to the White House.

"We're going to win Ohio," Romney said, a week before early voting begins in the Midwestern state.
"With every ounce of my energy, when I am president of the United States... I will strengthen America," Romney promised, arguing that the country could not afford four more years of Obama's economic policies.
