Ohio - Obama approval 48/49 overall, and 13/65 among undecideds
Public Policy Polling ^ | September 30, 2012

Posted on 09/30/2012 6:39:49 PM PDT by profit_guy

It's a mistake to think based on recent polling in Ohio that the race there is over. Obama is not popular in the state, with 48% of voters approving of him to 49% who disapprove. Among voters who remain undecided there just 13% think he's doing a good job to 65% who give him poor marks. That doesn't mean those folks will move to Romney en masse because they don't particularly like him either (a 26/37 favorability rating) but it does mean there's potential for the race there to get within tossup range over the final five weeks.

Look who is running like his internals are bad. Obama. The massive push and fact that Obama is in OH all the time is testament to the fact that he has no chance of winning if Romney picks up OH and Romney pretty much has it in the bag.

Meanwhile Romney is moving to states like WI and eying PA and NM. Obama is in big trouble. All the kings horses and all the Kings men couldn't put Hopey-Changey together again!

We get it, you predicted a Romney nomination would guarantee an Obama victory, and now you’re nervous you were wrong. What I don’t get is why you’re actively trying to dissuade people from voting to fire the worst President our country has ever had (Andrew Johnson fans are all dead...).

65% give him poor marks and they will still vote for him? I dont think so.

Are the polls calling a bunch of people owning those free obama phones? Just saying.

That’s what confuses me - how can 65% think he is doing a poor job and he is leading in the polls? Back in 2008, when I did political polling in OH - I knew McCain was in trouble because the response to the question of do you believe our country is going in the right/wrong direction was overwhelmingly in the wrong direction - and the liar-in-chief carried the state. I don’t know what to make of these polls, so I just shrug them off and hope that people vote according to their response.

Hahahaha. Obama is loved in 2 places that I can think of... Bexley and Upper Arlington. That’s it. 1 liberal city and 1 liberal village. I BELIEVE Ohio will red on November 6th.

I can’t figure out why residents of Bexley would be swarming to Obama. He clearly could give a rat’s ass about Israel.

The residents of Bexley are overwhelmingly Jewish.

I do not believe i"ll discuss worst president issues with a guy who puts Johnson below Buchanan.

Good grief man, Buchanan is the reason no one talks about any of the others in anything but 'second worst' ~ btw, I didn't predict an obama win ~ i predicted a tight race made even tighter by people who thought we needed a moderate to attract uncommited independents.

that might be a nice idea if such people existed but they don't.

Plus, i described this as a RACE TO THE BOTTOM with both candidates actually losing support as the campaign season progressed, which meant either one of them could win simply by showing up and campaigning ~ against the other guy.

The Pew data show clearly that 91% aren't interested enough in this race to bother answering a few questions ~ good grief man ~ how popular are these people?

BTW, even Romney doesn’t know what he meant by 47% ~ now, about the 91%. That’s a far more important number since that’s the percentage of folks contacted by a poll who do not end up providing input to that poll.
