The critical battleground state of Ohio remains a draw, with President Obama holding a one-point lead in the first post-debate survey of the contest there.
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Ohio Voters, taken last night, finds Obama with 50% support to Mitt Romney’s 49%. One percent (1%) likes another candidate, and another one percent (1%) is undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

We win this one on turn out!
Yep
Ping
It’s nice to see this one within the margin of error once again.
Should float a few more points towards Romney when the debate is fully baked in.
this can’t be right....Obama is supposed to be up by 10 in Ohio
Quick question, when the DNC convention finished RIGHT away perhaps even the next day the pollsters gave Omuslim a big bounce. They didn’t even wait for the numbers to bake, they just gave him the bounce the very next day! What’s going on here? I’m sick of the way the Chicago thugs have taken over all govt. and pollster establishments....THEY ARE EVIL!!
Yes, as Ras is a 5 day floating avg.
According to the REAL NUMBERS we are seeing in the OH absentee voting, Ras is still oversampling Ds by 3%. See the OH absentee/ early thread posted here daily.
How can this be? The headlines Romney are was lying all through the debate! He really lost, even though he won!
This is only a ONE-DAY Ohio poll guys.
This is NOT the national rolling average poll. It will not move toward Romney anymore unless they take another poll there in a couple days.
Great news to see it tied again.
“Levels of enthusiasm towards O aren’t even close to what they were in 2008.”
Did you follow the NV Senate race in 2010? Dims will roll out their vote Soviet style in OH because they know how critical it is. Don’t just assume that because dim voters are less enthusiastic about Obama that they won’t vote for him again when prodded by the dim machine.
Rasmussen is normally pretty straight with his numbers.
I think Ohio is evenly split, so a 3% Dem advantage is hard for me to believe given that our entire statewide government is Republican.
Governor, House, Senate, Sec of State, Treasurer, Supreme Court...all republican
You don’t get that with some big democrat advantage. If anything, there’s a repub advantage in our state.
I know that but I still believe a few more voters will switch to Romney over the coming days.
Apparently Eric Holder is now in charge of the Dept. of Labor, and Mitt should say as much.

These polls remind of how the pollsters predicted that Carter would beat Reagan.
Remember when Jimmy Carter beat Ronald Reagan in 1980?

The link below is a time machine going back to October 2004 when the maggot infected mediots and their knee pad pollsters were declaring Kerry would be president:
They were wrong then and now!
This is a turnout election. Obama has lost the juju from 2008 but there are still more gimmee voters in America than earnit voters. Gonna be a close election.
This is taken from Rasmussen:
“And 50 percent think the economy will improve if Romney wins and the GOP keeps the House and wins back the Senate. Not so if Democrats win. Just 34 percent think the economy will improve if Obama wins reelection and the Democrats Congress, with 40 percent believing it will get worse.”
I think that the above is the real indicator on how this election will turn. The economy sucks. No one is going to vote in a way that will make the economy worse. Not just in Ohio but nationwide. Think positive and work hard for victory in November!
Romney swing state surge Confirmed here:
Confirming this surge is We Ask America, who also shows a surge for Romney in the state of Florida.
PRESIDENT – VIRGINIA (We Ask America)
Mitt Romney (R) 48%
Barack Obama (D-inc) 45%
PRESIDENT – OHIO (We Ask America)
Mitt Romney (R) 47%
Barack Obama (D-inc) 46%
PRESIDENT – FLORIDA (We Ask America)
Mitt Romney (R) 49%
Barack Obama (D-inc) 46%

and this one from Clint
Absentee numbers do not, so far, support Ras or anyone else. They point to a substantial Romney victory.
It always was. IMO
Your link is defective. I want to know the D/R/I breakout.
Has anyone else seen the breakdown of the Ohio absentee ballots?
“In 2008, there were 1,158,301 total absentee ballots requested: 33 percent were requested by registered Democrats and 19 percent were requested by registered Republicans — a 14-point gap. So far in 2012, only 638,997 ballots have been requested, 29 percent by Democrats and 24 percent by Republicans — only a five-point gap.”
Ohio will be going to Romney.
Ras Daily tracking national poll is a three day rolling average. This state poll however is a one-day poll.
Yes, I know it is a one day poll but I believe that some who did not make a snap decision the day after the debate will still trickle in over a few days.
Love the positive news but where are you getting that from? I heard absentee ballots were lower this election cycle.
See post #31 about Ohio absentee ballots.
Very helpful. Thanks.
