Have to expect the undecideds to break 3/1 Romney. They already know Onama.
I look at these approval/disapproval numbers and can’t wrap my head around the fact that Obama is ahead of Romney in Ohio. It doesn’t make sense to me.
Even the Marxist’s staunchest supporters know he’s a pathological liar.
Speaks volumes about them.
In congressional races, Republican wins in districts 1, 2, 8, 27 and 30. 'Dem wins in districts 28, 29, 31.
Poll ping.
I’m visiting NE Ohio this past week—I posted so far how, in the west suburbs of Cleveland, Romney is just about tied w/ BO for home yard signs. In libwacko heaven Oberlin Ohio ( a college town w/ a lot of blacks to boot) I saw 2 BO signs in the whole town, and in an (now) inner city Catholic church in Cleveland, the priest basically said in his homily that BO is unfit to be reelected and to go beyond the “secular media’s” lies and distortions.
Yesterday evening, my cousin invited me out to dinner—he moved near Medina many years ago. Medina area is 30 miles or so from Cleveland’s west side, full of whites from Cleveland who wisely got the hell out of Dodge over the last 30 years. Closer in (Brunswick area), it’s suburban residential and some new homes, further out it’s new developments, local farms, small towns.
Anyway, it was 30 miles out from where I’m staying. I counted signs on my drive. I saw 2 BO signs—and 24 Romney/Ryan signs. No kidding.
R’s consistently outperform national numbers in Ohio by .5%-2.5% every election. Thus, if Romney leads nationally, he also leads Ohio. All the hype about Ohio is an excuse to claim that Obama has a shot, which he doesn’t, and also drives people to watch more news and campaigns to buy more ads, resulting in more revenue to the media companies. They have a vested interest in claiming the election is close. The Gallup LV model was almost dead on in ‘08, and Romney is at 52% and Obama is at 45%. Which means it doesn’t come down to Ohio or any other “battleground state”
This week’s poll has a Democrat sample advantage of 8 percent; last week’s advantage was 4."
That is blue smoking horseshit fraudulent poll manipulation. And it is way past the time when it's acceptable to play games like that.
That said, that's really bad news for Bobo, when your special sauce is scraped off the bun and you're likely 3 points down in OH, which reflects the nationwide trend. If even Bill Kristol can surmise that, as he did yesterday on FNS, then everyone understands it.

Being an Ohioan, I suppose that gives me license to nitpick.
My nitpick is with yardsigns being used by the Romney team in Ohio.
Way too many of them are blue signs that say “nobama”. I’ve seen dueling yards and dueling street corners where we have some blue “obama biden” signs and some blue “nobama” signs.
Is the “nobama” idea cute? Sure. I get it, I understand it, blah, blah, blah. But, I’m an insider. I’ve been reading that stuff for years. Mr. John Q Voter, who turns on a news program once every 4 years at presidential election time, in my humble opinion, simply will not see blue nobama. He’ll see yards and street corners full of ‘bama’ with an “o” sound in front.
Recently, I began to see a few Romney/Ryan white signs. Awesome. Someone needs to mass produce those bad boys and quit the cutesy ‘nobama’ thing.
What really makes me scratch my head is why in the world they made them in blue???
I’d call it the lost message problem. Everyone thinks their neighbors and friends are obama supporters because they sport blue ‘bama’ signs.
At least it appears that way as you drive by at anywhere from 30 to 60 mph.
Last two sentences of poll:
“Based on these two polls, the only way Obama can win Ohio is if he finds a way to greatly surpass 2008 turnout with Democrats, which at the moment seems like an impossible task. If these polls hold, it won’t be long before the state Romney was declared dead in knocks down the last pillar of inevitability that Obama has left.”
Hope he does well in the debate tonight.
Watch for an unhinged O at tonight's debate. All Romney has to do is goad him into a tantrum.
