OH is no longer all that poll: given the fact that Romney has been tied or down by 1% in the last three OH polls, all three of which oversampled Democrats by ridiculous margins (the PPP poll, where Romney trailed by 1%, was a D+8 poll in which Romney won more Dems than Obama won Republicans and in which Romney led big among indies), I think that Romney is up by 3% and climbing. Another way to look at it: Romney is up by like 4%-6% in national polls with realistic samples, and the last time that a Republican presidential nominee underperformed in OH by more than 2% compared to his national vote percentage was in 1872 (Grant’s reelection). There is no way that Romney could be doing much worse in OH than he is nationally.
Cue Randy Quaid from “Independence Day”: “I been sayin’ it and sayin’ it——ain’t I been sayin’ it’”
all that poll = all that close
Romney wins Ohio 51-47. You heard it here. #There’sThat47PercentAgain
