RE: Ohio generally votes a point or so more republican than the national popular vote.
Have you found this to be true during the past 3 or 4 Presidential election cycles?

Not entirely true. Ohio has picked the winner dating back to Kennedy/Nixon in 1960 (where they still may have picked the ACTUAL winner less RAT fraud in Chicago and Texas, but I digress).
In all those elections, Ohio has been within three points of the national number, usually slightly favoring the winner. It's hard to believe that will change in this election.
2008 - McCain OH - 47 - National - 46
2004 - Bush OH - 51 - National - 51
2000 - Bush OH - 49.97 - National - 47.9
1996 - Dole OH - 41 - National - 41
1992 - Bush OH - 38.35 - National - 37.5
1988 - Bush OH - 55 - National - 53
1984 - Reagan OH - 58.77 - National - 58.8
I don’t see Romney losing Ohio if he wins the national popular vote, especially if he wins by more than a point or two nationally.
