Among Likely Voters:

34%-Dem

32%-Rep

34%-Ind

From the poll:

"Among those likely voters, 34% described themselves as Democrats, 34% described themselves as Independents, and 32% described themselves as Republicans. Ohio does not have party registration."

You know whenever Romney has a lead, the media turns the race into Ohio and tries to hypnotize everyone that only Ohio matters.

It is important but a bigger story would be Obama’s failed presidency may hang on by its fingernails and be a total 2nd term disaster because of barely winning Ohio.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Every other poll shows Romney leading in Ohio so this poll is dog poo

[justiceseeker93]

From where did you get that party breakdown? It’s not in the politico story.

[KTM rider]

as the busses loaded with 47%er’s line up at the county recorders offices for Early Cheating (aka early votng) it should give the Kenyan Basterd a bump

Ohio does not have party registration

Well, when they state an obvious falsehood in the body of an article nothing else said can be trusted.

From the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections webpage on "How Do I Declare or Change Political Party Affiliation":

Under Ohio election law, you can change your political party at a Primary Election only. This is done by requesting the ballot type for the political party with which you wish to be affiliated. Ohio Revised Code Section 3513.19, .20.

If you do not want to be affiliated with a political party in Ohio, you are considered to be an unaffiliated voter. An unaffiliated voter, which is identified by some people as an “independent voter”, may only vote an Official Questions and Issues Ballot, if there are any present, for your precinct on Primary Election Day. Unaffiliated or Independent voters can vote for candidates and issues in a General Election.

All the liberals from California moved to Ohio...

[verum ago]

Beware any poll which someone goes through the trouble of describing as “credible” and “widely-trusted.”

The president has consistently led in the battleground state in credible public polling and internal surveys on both sides of the 2012 race.

First, who exactly decides what's "credible public polling". Oh, yeah, in this case it's CNN. Do they explain anywhere what constitutes "credible public polling" and provide examples of it?

Second, does anyone really believe that the Romney Campaign would reveal what it's internal polls are showing to CNN? Especially if those internal polls are showing them losing?

[Doogle]

two words that don’t fit well in this piece..politico + credible

Too bad for CNN Ohio is a 37R-36D state. Run this poll with an accurate sample and you switch the results to R 51, O 47

[Slump Tester]

Yeah, Ohio is in the bag for Zero. That’s why he was here again today.

[FredZarguna]

Can you provide a link to those internals? They are not on the CNN web site for this poll.

[thingumbob]

Ya......Right!! LMAO

How many people actually tune in to CNN now?....three?

There should be a disclaimer in here somewhere where they admit that they polled the local union hall during the monday night meeting in Cleveland, Ohio

[madprof98]

The CNN survey is the first widely trusted poll to emerge from the Buckeye State since the debate last week.

I would never have guessed this.

[Gay State Conservative]

What was CNN’s batting average in Wisconsin earlier this year...nationwide in 2010....Presidential in 2008?

[snarkytart]

Someone called it because of the way CNN was touting this poll earlier today. We knew it would show zerO up and over 50%.

[bray]

Glad the Dems are so fired up to vote for their messiah still. Do they choose their mix with darts?
