President Barack Obama and former Governor Mitt Romney continue to run a close race for Ohio's prized 18 electoral votes. In the race for U.S. Senate, likely voters currently give incumbent Senator Sherrod Brown a 49 to 44 edge over Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel.
These findings are based on the latest Ohio Poll, conducted by the Institute for Policy Research at the University of Cincinnati. The Ohio Poll is sponsored by the University of Cincinnati. The Poll was conducted with Ohio likely voters from October 25 to October 30, 2012.

Ah yes.. Another RNC special delivery for Ohio.
1. The Ohio Poll always leans Left (always), and this one has a screwy sample; 2. An incumbent under 50% six days before Election day IS GOING TO LOSE; 3. The GOP has significantly overperformed in the absentee and early vote game, negating Obama's advantage; 4. Ohio always votes to the right of the national popular vote tally - if Romney is at 50 nationally, he'll get 51 or better in Ohio.
There are more reasons, but those are enough. Romney will carry Ohio 51-49 or better.
Oh do I hope and pray that you are right.
