I look at these approval/disapproval numbers and can’t wrap my head around the fact that Obama is ahead of Romney in Ohio. It doesn’t make sense to me.
Makes sense if you over-sample Democrats by 9 points...
Because Obama is not.
I’m in Ohio and you should know the following:
1. Kasich tried to limit public union rights and was beaten in a referendum. Really got the uniouns going strong.
2. The auto industry bail out is a plus for Obama.
3. The economy is doing better—this has more to do with Kasich and his pro fracking policies but it actually helps Obama with the low information voter.
Still my republican buddies are pumped and think Romney will win. Obama is hated in SE Ohio- coal country with lots of bitter clingers!

Our local news has turned into good news central where nothing bad ever happens. This morning it was how wonderful Xmas is going to be for retailers and falling gas prices. That explains some of it.
He's not ahead. Romney will comfortably carry OH.
All the poll misinformation about a close OH race is to get out the base for the Senate race. Obama is a lost cause & they know it. Control of the Senate, however, still hangs in the balance.
