Then you must be elated over their September poll.

McCain garners 48 percent support in the poll of likely voters compared to 44 percent for Obama, with a large percentage of voters remaining less than fully committed as of early September.

The next University of Cincinnati poll will tell us if Obama has really gained ground in Ohio. My belief is that Obama will ramp up the black vote in Ohio’s biggest cities (Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, Dayton, Toledo, Akron), but lose ground among older, white Democrats in the suburbs and rural areas. Appalachian areas of the state in eastern and southeastern Ohio made a big difference for Bush in 2004 and Obama is hardly the Democrat to flip them back. I believe white women, who have supported both Bill Clinton and George Bush, are also more likely to support McCain because of Palin’s presence on the ticket.
