Election 2012: Ohio President: Obama 49%, Romney 49%
Rasmussen Reports ^ | 2 November 2012 | Scott Rasmussen

Posted on 11/02/2012 11:47:47 AM PDT by ScottinVA

With four days to go, President Obama and Mitt Romney are tied in the critical battleground state of Ohio.

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Ohio Voters finds Obama and Romney each with 49% support. Two percent (2%) prefer some other candidate, while one percent (1%) is undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Ohio remains one of eight Toss-Up states in the Rasmussen Reports Electoral College Projections. Obama won the Buckeye State in 2008 by a 52% to 47% margin.

At the beginning of the week, Romney held a slight 50% to 48% advantage. It was the first time Romney has taken even a modest lead in the race of Ohio's 18 Electoral College votes since late May, but the two candidates have been within two percentage points of one another since then.

Forty percent (40%) of Ohio voters say they have already cast their ballots, and among these voters, the president has a comfortable 56% to 41% lead.

Both candidates earn better than 90% support from voters in their respective parties. The president is ahead 50% to 41% among voters not affiliated with either major political party.

It’s the margin of error which means basically no movement

Dang it. And Rasmussen got an A- for their accuracy in previous elections. They get it right 97 percent of the time. I can’t believe that many Americans are this dumb.

I’m thinking the data behind these two statements are why Romney ventured into PA:


Forty percent (40%) of Ohio voters say they have already cast their ballots, and among these voters, the president has a comfortable 56% to 41% lead.

Both candidates earn better than 90% support from voters in their respective parties. The president is ahead 50% to 41% among voters not affiliated with either major political party.

Crap.

Or maybe independents were always with Obama and Rasmussen was just screwing with Romney supporters.

Because 0bama handled Benghazi so well? Because goods and services to Hurricane Sandy victims are abundant? Because the jobs data looks stellar? Because 0bama acts so presidential? Sounds like the media is setting us up for an ‘outrageous election result’ in Ohio when Romney kicks 0bama’s commie azz.

Cold air must be filtering in because anyone with a clear mental facalty who votes for O clearly has a frozen sense of reason.

Let us pray that Team R&R knows something about Ohio that isn’t being picked up by Ras. They are going to PA on Sunday.

Must have been Krispy Kreme posing as Obama's Greek Column that did it...

I don’t get the sudden massive shift in independents showing across Rasmussen polls. It doesn’t seem like anything happened that would have caused this.

Thank you gov Christie for helping Obama send America into a dark age of socialism (if Obama wins) where we will all be as in a housing project, starving and slaves.

Or maybe Ohio has more people sucking from the government teat than we realize?

Sh*t, I don’t know...
