The race for the White House continues to be too close to call in Ohio, according to a new Cincinnati Enquirer/Ohio News Organization Poll that shows President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney each with 49 percent support from likely voters.
That's a slip for the president, who took 51 percent of likely voters in the newspaper group's September poll.
Romney's support grew among males, among high school and college graduates and among respondents in every age category except 18 to 29.
The two candidates also tied in scaring voters -- 29 percent of poll respondents said they'd be scared if Obama won, and the same amount said they'd be scared if Romney won. Half said they were very enthusiastic about voting, 21 percent said they were not so enthusiastic or not enthusiastic at all.

This happened in '04 as well...
Coal and Oil voters/workers will not go 0bummer this time...they see their jobs getting destroyed.
We are the crawl over broken glass voters this time.
Romney is up by 5% in Ohio; that is Holder-proof.
Take it to the bank.
Gut feel.

The numbers do not appear to change much before Election Day. While the total # of voters may shift, the winner in OH will probably win by 2/10-3/10 of a percentage point. Right now I have Romney at 50.11% to 49.89% for Obama among 5.5 million votes cast.
He has now teamed up with the NY Times and is the golden standard of the left.
His whole thing is based on state polls which sounds good but the other problem is that he totally doesn't use Rasmussen or Gallup based on argument that the Rasmussen was off by 5% last time and that Gallup isn't that accurate. Both claims I have investigated and found to be wanting.
Thank you...
[ Who is this Nate Silver I keep hearing about and why is his opinion so important? ]
He’s opinion is not important. He is a left-wing hack and Obamabot.
“The data were weighted to correct for potential sampling bias on gender and region of residence for respondents.”
LOL....yet no attempt to correct for Party imbalance.
We are likely already up 1-2 percent.
Do you know what state he missed?
Indiana
