Poll: Romney up 3 in Ohio, best showing since June

By Justin Sink - 09/05/12 08:25 PM ET

Mitt Romney has opened a 3-point lead in the pivotal swing state of Ohio, according to a new poll released Wednesday — the Republican nominee's best showing since June.

The Republican ticket garnered support of 47 percent of those surveyed, versus 43 percent for Democrats, according to a poll released by Gravis Marketing. President Obama has led consistently in the polls since June, although that lead has been usually within the margin of error.

Meanwhile, 10 percent of voters remain unsure in the pivotal contest, or say they would back a third-party candidate.

- Where is Obama’s “billion dollars” in campaign fundraising?

- Even with the five billion ($5,000,000,000) bucks worth of free advertising and propaganda from the 99.999% radical pro-Obama media -

- Obama is barely breaking even with Romney on polls now (while spending mucho more than he can raise) and just now today on FNC Obama’s fundraiser is admitting he is getting clobbered by Romney/Ryan fundraising by 2:1 and even 3:1

- He claims it is “just because Romney really just started....” - while Obama has been raising money for a long time -

- Duz that make any sense to you?

- Early on Obama and his Chi-Town Thugs bragged they would raise a billion smackeroos

- and now they once more blame “Romney the evil businessman” -

Employers are expected to have increased payrolls by 125,000 workers last month, according to the median forecast of economists surveyed by Reuters ahead of Labor Department figures due on Sept. 7, a step down from July’s 163,000 job gain. The public sector will continue to shed jobs, with a decline of 12,000 expected in August.

ADP is always higher than the non-farm. Number will be about 150k

I wonder if Boehner has any clout that he can lend to Romney. Does the Speaker have coattails?

Ha! You are quite a kidder!!!

What are the internals of this poll?

How many percent Republican/Democrat/Independent?

That’s the important data.

Good to see a post-convention bounce. Obama is really trying to sell this auto industry thing. We shall whether that gives him a bounce. Ohio is still going to be a very close contest and as goes Ohio so the nation will go IMO.

The Democrats are the favored choice of the 18- to 29-year-old demographic but trail substantially among voters 30-49 percent.

Should this read, "but [Democrats] trail substantially among voters 30-49 years of age"?

Is it me or is team Romney playing rope-a-dope here?

* They have been in Ohio a lot, it is now in their camp, although I wouldn't rest...
* They have formed a beach head, and will continue to attack in Ohio and move forward...
* A beach head for the next stop, which is... MICHIGAN IMHO...

This is an awesome poll. The Dem advantage is 4 points (41/37) and they still get a 3-point Romney lead and a 1 point Mandel lead!

They went very light on the Independents too. I wonder what the "internal" internals are?

Interesting, where did you get this Dem advantage of 4 points? What link do we follow? Thanks.

Go back up the thread and someone posted “crosstabs” link.
You have to find the Obama/Biden vs. Romney/Ryan question. But there is a Mandel question too.

Wow! Here is another nugget from the heavily weighted Democrat survey:

Approve of Obama = 39.41%
Disapprove of Obama = 53.85
Unsure and in a coma ward = 6.73%

If Romney's up +3 in OH among registered voters, Obama's got big problems.
