Key Findings: 1. The Romney-Ryan team is right in the thick of things in Minnesota.
Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan trail Barack Obama and Joe Biden by just four points 43% Romney/Ryan to 47% Obama/Biden in the Presidential race in Minnesota. While Minnesota is a Democratic state, the Romney/Ryan tickets 45%-32% lead over Obama/Biden among Independents makes the state competitive. Romney/Ryan lead 45%-42% among men, but trail 42%-52% among women.
2. While Obamas image is decent overall, he has real problems with Independents. Romneys image is 45% favorable/44% unfavorable, which is a little weaker than Obamas 50% favorable/44% unfavorable image. However, among Independents, Romney has a huge advantage. He has a 50% fav/33% unfav image, while Obama is at a staggeringly bad 36% fav/49% unfav.

Yes but they don't want to call Romney too far ahead just in case O can give them something to work with.
I agree. I don’t think he’s going to give them much to work with though, because he hasn’t got a leg to stand on.

LOL
I hope Team RR have a shoe to drop on Monday...a video, something.
RCP’s two credible polls pre-debate had Obama up +10 and +8.
This one at +4 now makes sense.
I know he wasn’t exactly a red meat Tea-Party type, but Norm Coleman should have won in 2008.
Pawlenty was the Govvy there as well for two terms, so there is a semblance of a Republican Party there
Libya is the biggest next shoe waiting to hit the floor. Even the Democrat controlled Senate is jumping in with both feet. Ouch!
(those were the early ‘50’s mind you)
4m PublicPolicyPolling @ppppolls Romney hasn't received the favorability bounce in OH that he has elsewhere- 45/51 now, 45/49 2 wks ago: http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/main/2012/10/obama-leads-51-46-in-ohio.html
6m PublicPolicyPolling @ppppolls Our full Ohio poll, which finds Barack Obama leading Mitt Romney 51-46, is now posted: http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/main/2012/10/obama-leads-51-46-in-ohio.html
34m PublicPolicyPolling @ppppolls Pretty sure we're going to do an Ohio poll every week for the duration now- really wish we had one from last weekend to compare to
51m PublicPolicyPolling @ppppolls D+4 sample on our poll showing Obama up 5 in Ohio. 2008 exit poll was D+8
54m PublicPolicyPolling @ppppolls @BuzzFeedAndrew Much stronger day for Obama Saturday. Why we don't just do polls in one night generally
57m PublicPolicyPolling @ppppolls Ohio voters on who do you trust more on the issue of Libya: Obama 51, Romney 43
59m PublicPolicyPolling @ppppolls One of the reasons Ohio's particularly tough for Romney- looking back voters support the auto bailout 54/37
59m PublicPolicyPolling @ppppolls Ohio voters think Biden won the debate Thursday night 46-37, including 44-32 with independents
1h PublicPolicyPolling @ppppolls 19% of Ohioans say they've already voted and Obama has a 76-24 advantage with them. Romney up 51-45 with folks who haven't voted yet
1h PublicPolicyPolling @ppppolls Barack Obama leads our new Ohio poll 51-46, not much different from 2 weeks ago when it was 49-45
1h PublicPolicyPolling @ppppolls Barack Obama was a lot stronger in our Saturday Ohio polling than Friday night. We'll have the final results soon
(those were the early ‘50’s mind you)
PPP is a partisan Democrat pollster. His job is to buck up the morale of the troops. I pay it absolutely no heed and neither should you.
If we get voter ID after this election, it might come into play in the future. As of now they have already counted enough Obama votes to give him Minnesota.
I wonder how many people that voted early (before the first debate), now have regrets.
Oh we’ve had a couple of them in my little town as well. Surprising, as they’re ex-military guys, not Boomer hippies. Same kind of agenda which is weird in my book.
Maybe the above poster was right about heavy metals in the water. LOL
Again, there’s zero trend towards Obama in Ohio. Cuyahoga County has lost half of their registered voters since 2008.
Like above poster said, PPP is a left wing hack job.
Just read this and come to your own conclusions.

Poll Ping.
They don’t call it the PeePeePoll for no reason. It’s a push poll with a rat slant. Look to their internals.
