If he can’t win OH, he won’t win IN, NC, VA either.
In other words, he’s quite beatable. IF the GOP candidate is halfway decent.
I’m in the blue part of Ohio. I know people who actually admit they voted for Obama. They weren’t rabid supporters, they just couldn’t vote for the 100 year old, faltering, McCain. The situation for Obama isn’t that bad with these people.
What I’ve figured out, talking to these folks is that they are sure Obama sucks. They would say he doesn’t deserve to be re-elected. HOWEVER, they can’t think of a Republican they’d vote for. And, sorry Palinistas, but these people would rather vote for anyone before they’d vote Palin.
The GOP has some hard work to do in order to get these people. They are swing voters.
“His ratings are not terrible?”......
Hah!....just wait!
I’d vote for a dog on roller skates before him!
Sen. Sherrod Brown, who also faces re-election in 2012, is in better shape with Ohio registered voters, who prefer Brown over an unnamed GOP challenger 45 - 29 percent. Voters also say 45 - 30 percent that he deserves a second term in the U.S. Senate.
The Dayton Daily News, in the southwestern part of the state, is spinning this as a near landslide re-election victory for Obama.
This is better news than it may seem. Ohio in the last decade lost a seat in congress. Those that want to work (tend to vote conservative) have left the state to look for employment, leaving a higher percentage of liberals in the state. A greater percentage of liberals/independents are showing their disapproval.
ALL polls are propaganda...or disinformation..
Independents disapprove of Obama by 50-42. Republicans by 88-11. So how does Obama get an approval rating of 47? Simple, you just poll a lot more democrats in a state that just voted overwhelmingly republican.
This is Quinnepac and I can tell you that unless they polled in a college town the results shoud be much worse than this.I seldom hear Obama’s name not preceeded by some expletive!
