Obama leads 50-45 in Ohio

Source: Public Policy Polling

A new Public Policy Polling survey in Ohio, conducted on behalf of Health Care for America Now, finds Barack Obama leading Mitt Romney 50-45.

-snip-

-Obama’s approval rating is at the key 50% mark, with 47% of voters disapproving of him. Romney’s under water on his favorability, with 46% of voters rating him positively while 48% have a negative opinion.

-Obama’s already amassed a large lead in the state. 33% of voters say they’ve already cast their ballots and he leads 62-35 with them. Romney has a 50-45 advantage with those yet to vote.

-Obama leads with both women (53/44) and men (48/47). He is holding Romney to just a 50/46 advantage with white voters, not nearly enough to win the state. Obama also leads within every age group except for seniors.

4. I was going to head north on Tuesday after I voted.

I don't think it is going to work out though, so I sent them what I would have spent in gas. I know times are tough, but a little here and there adds up. There is still work to be done! Bless those who have worked so hard in Ohio for so long now to get us to this point!

6. I'm a senior, and I've been wondering that myself.


I'm pretty much convinced it's just latent racism in our generation.

7. So, in other words, the race is tied?

 

I mean, Romney +5 would mean that he is "opening a sizeable gap" but this is a stistical tie, right?

9. Obama Leads with...Men (48/47).

This is the key -- even if it's only a one-point lead. Romney has absolutely no answer for that devastating commercial with the factory workers.
