The Party breakdown can be found here, which was conducted by the Institute for Policy Research at the University of Cincinnati.

Never trust a poll done by a University or College as they seethe with liberal bias.

Sorry, I looked all over that chart and didn’t see party breakdown. I saw 861 voters.

[TribalPrincess2U]

They’ll wake up.

[Ann Archy]

Only STUPID people will vote for Obama.

Only 10% of Ohio voters are independent ???

[Tucker39]

What total crocks these polls are! Does ANYONE have the slightest idea how the people who make this Country work feel about Obama? They are so tired of him and his bloviating BS drivel they could puke when they hear his voice! Factor THAT into your cockamamie poll!

[Steelfish]

This is bad news if accurate. Without OH, Romney loses as would have Bush to Kerry if Bush lost OH.

RNC needs to flood the airwaves with Obama’s statements from 2008 and 2012 and the delegates at the DNC booing God. What is the RNC doing? Sack RNC Chair Reince Priebus. With this kind of record, Obama should be 5 points behind.

Check the left column that is about 1/3rd the way down the webpage where the heading says “The Ohio Newspaper Organization Poll”. The link to it is at post number 1.

Only 10% of Ohio voters are independent ???

That is what the U of Cincy said.

[yorkiemom]

48 percent said they were Democrats, 42 percent Republicans and 10 percent independent.

So then Obama leads by 5, and they oversampled Democrats by 6%. That means Romney really leads by 1%.

[Tucker39]

Pardon me, but according to the article, the poll was done by U. of Cincinnati. Why then would you present something out of CLEVELAND to explain the breakdown of the poll? Just trying to minimize my brain cramps!

but who won the Independents? Romney or obozo?? and what was the spread?? Can’t seem to find it anywhere....

Early voting has already started in Ohio. Such polls are meant to influence the voting.

[ShovelThemOut]

“Mitt Romney keeps telling Ohioans they are worse off than four years ago — but a majority of you are not buying it.”

The loaded polls say a majority are not buying it.

[SoFloFreeper]

Both campaigns likely will ramp up efforts to influence independent voters, as well. According to the poll, these kind of voters appear less interested in the race and less likely to turn out for the Nov. 6 election.

The Obamugabe worship continues.

For decades, the media has been obsessed with independents...now that they're turning to Romney in droves, they're labeled as "disinterested" or unimportant.

At one point in the summer, it appeared in a few polls that independents were turning to Obamugabe...suddenly I saw some attention in the media being paid to independents....now that that trend is over, they're back to a low number in the poll samples.

well lets hope this has a reverse effect and influences the people on our side to get off their butts as i don’t believe this for a second:

“In recent presidential elections there have been times when both Democrats and Republicans stayed home in large numbers,” Rademacher said. “More Democrats than Republicans are expressing a likelihood of voting at this point in time, but it would not be unheard of for this to move around considerably between now and Election Day.”

[jps098]

That stance isn’t resonating in Ohio, though, according to the poll. It revealed 41 percent of Ohioans believe they are about the same as in 2008, and 23 percent feel they are better off than four years ago.

Wouldn't this leave 36 percent thinking things are worse?

"Mitt Romney keeps telling Ohioans they are worse off than four years ago — but a majority of you are not buying it."

Ohio's U6 unemployment was 11.4% in 2008 and it's 14.4% today. I'm not buying this poll.

[GilGil]

Romney up 7.8% according to unskewedpolls.com. This is why Tokyo Rose Media (TRM) is spinning so hard. Obama is in fact losing!
