This poll has been posted before, but it’s still important news.
Do we have access to the internals for the two polls?
Where are the internals and where are the sample size?
Hey everyone, I’m in a swing, bellweather County in Ohio. Lake County 99% of the time we go with the statewide winner. Hillary thumped Obama here in the primary by almost 30% McCain is whooping Obama in the yard sign war about 4-1 here I fell very confident Ohio will stay red!
LS would know better.
Thanks for the info from someone on the ground in a war zone. Welcome to FR, FRiend.
The CNN polls all seem to have the ACORN factored in - some of the numbers they are reporting are pretty ridiculous IMHO.

I could not find any internal info.
Lets hope so, and here is some help:

Well then, add 10 points for McCain/Palin and it should be accurate.

Welcome to FR, and please keep us posted (many of us wonder which ads are actually airing on Ohio TV/radio etc.)
Like odumbo said the acorn never falls far from the tree. The polls are based on acorns inflated democrat registrations
Excellent.
Here’s more anecdotal evidence that McCain is winning in Ohio :-)!!!!
1> Drove from Sandusky to Pittsburgh this morning. Noticed that Sandusky had a few McCain signs on the stretch of road from I-80 to Cedar Point :-)! Only saw 1 Obama-Biden sign and that was right next door to a McCain-Palin sign :-)!
2> Noticed a lot of McCain-Palin bumper stickers. A truck at our hotel (Ohio plates) had its rear window covered with a McCain sign.
3> Only Obama bumper sticker that stood out to me on the drive home was one on a Honda Odyssey w. VA plates. It also had one of those 1-20-09 stickers we all know and love.
4> Cedar Point (the park) seemed to swing to Obama. I noticed three people wearing Obama T-Shirts.
Anyway, things seemed better than 2004 (I make this trip every year in October). I had rot gut throughout most of that election and had the winds knocked out of my sails when I saw a lot of Kerry-Edwards stuff everywhere.
I also have a feeling that Western PA is swinging Repub. I noticed several “Another Democrat voting for McCain” signs on Rt. 51 from the Ft. Pitt tunnels up to the Rt. 51 / 88 intersection. I never saw anything like this in 2004 here in the Pittsburgh area.
I know this is all anecdotal, but, again, it’s all rather encouraging stuff I’ve seen this time around....not much Obama stuff....yet.
Same here in SE Ohio. :)
“CNN is also saying now this race is a dead heat in Ohio”
Then McCain must be way ahead!! ;>)
