CNN Ohio poll: Obama 51, Romney 47
Politico ^ | 10/9/2012 | ALEXANDER BURNS

Posted on 10/09/2012 3:49:30 PM PDT by Palmetto Patriot

Even after the fallout from last week's presidential debate, Barack Obama retains a 4-point lead in the state of Ohio — and pulls a majority of the vote in a poll released this afternoon by CNN.

Obama leads Romney in the state, 51 percent to 47 percent. The president has consistently led in the battleground state in credible public polling and internal surveys on both sides of the 2012 race.

The results from the CNN poll underscore the continuing challenge the Electoral College poses to Romney: while he has gained in national presidential polls, Romney has only the narrowest of paths to winning 270 electoral votes if he cannot improve his standing in Ohio. The CNN survey is the first widely trusted poll to emerge from the Buckeye State since the debate last week.

Yeah, Ohio is in the bag for Zero. That’s why he was here again today.

Can you provide a link to those internals? They are not on the CNN web site for this poll.

Ya......Right!! LMAO

How many people actually tune in to CNN now?....three?

There should be a disclaimer in here somewhere where they admit that they polled the local union hall during the monday night meeting in Cleveland, Ohio

Someone called it because of the way CNN was touting this poll earlier today. We knew it would show zerO up and over 50%.

Glad the Dems are so fired up to vote for their messiah still. Do they choose their mix with darts?

Let me guess, since Romney is trailing, this poll is bogus.

Tomorrow when the same poll shows Romney in the lead, it is going to be the most reliable poll out there.

I think I see a pattern developing.

It shows about 5 times as many conservatives for Obama as liberals for Romney (19% to 4/5%).
That’s eye-catching all right.

“two words that don’t fit well in this piece..politico + credible”

Yeah this is bad. Politico quickly running with a new CNN poll. They want this to be true so bad they can’t resist a few partisan digs. Journolisters indeed.

Romney continues to get outspent in Ohio by Obama. I did see 3 Romney ads in a row this morning, and then, believe it or not, I saw 2 Obama ads in a row. It was same network, and commercial commercial, back to show, commercial, back to show, o commercial o commercial.

So, the 3 in a row by Romney is an improvement, but he’s got to keep it up if he’s going to beat Obama’s ad buys. First time I’ve seen it from Romney.
