More bad news for Obama: He leads in Wisconsin, Ohio and Florida
Bad news? well the way the talking head on my local morning news program was reporting it you would think the president may as well concede the election to Romney! It was all 'Paul Ryan selection has moved voters towards Romney making it more likely that Romney will win' all said with the cheap, plastic smile that local morning news anchors use and with 'bubbly' delight.
Anyway here are the numbers from CBS/Quinnipiac:
In Florida and Wisconsin, where Mr. Obama had led Mr. Romney by six percentage points in polls conducted before the selection of Mr. Ryan, the race is essentially tied. Mr. Obama is ahead in Florida by 49 percent to 46 percent and in Wisconsin by 49 percent to 47 percent — differences within the polls’ margin of sampling error of plus or minus three percentage points. Mr. Obama retains a six-point advantage in Ohio, where he leads Mr. Romney 50 percent to 44 percent, unchanged from last month’s survey.
The polls were largely conducted before the uproar over remarks on rape and abortion made by a Republican Senate candidate in Missouri, Representative Todd Akin, which officials in both parties agree could alter the dynamic of the race, especially among women. Mr. Obama enjoys solid support of a majority of women in each of these three states, the surveys found, but in Wisconsin his healthy lead among women has narrowed since the last poll and now trails the levels of the 2008 election, when he won the state.
