Half of the public doesn’t know enough about the GOP candidates to have an opinion about them. This kind of poll is useful only to see how close Obummer can get to 50.
Anyone energizing the taxpayers? There are very few auto, steel, and rubber union workers left in Ohio. Most union members are white collar government workers.

As a former buckeye, I tend to agrtee with you as
I know Toledo (hometown) and Unions...I have voted
for President since 1948.....Truman, yes. since that
time, Kennedy, rest Republicans. I actually think that
the best candidate to beat “Randy Rhetoric” would be
Cain....at least he would get portion of the black vote...
ps: been in Caliornia since WW2. Obama will BS huis way,
Tea Party backing(r’S) my slow him down..hopefully. jk
Did you read what top Dem strategist James Carville said today? He seems awfully worried. And now with Dems joined at the hip with Occupy Wall Street, they are becoming even more radicalized than ever. This won’t sit well in Middle America.
I don’t buy it. I believe Ohio is going to be fought over, but will ultimately go GOP by several percentage points. We’ll see. Depends on the GOP candidate for sure, but I personally believe, that short of some unbelievable occurance between now and then, that a strong GOP candidate is going to have a good shot at a landslide.
At least I pray GOd and will work my heart out that it is so.
lies. Obama will lose all 50 states. He won’t even win his home state....because Kenya is not a state, yet.
Ohio is a 50 - 50 state. Oddly enough 50% of Americans don’t pay federal income taxes. Coincidence?
I don't believe it will be a "walk in the park", but I believe that any GOP nominee will carry Ohio, and by several points. This poll has always shown very poor performance in polling Ohio, and the sampling in this poll is way out of whack compared to actual turnout in 2010.
In addition, the last election was such a wipeout for the Dems that there are no Democrats in statewide offices, and their numbers in the General Assembly have left them powerless. Are we to believe than an electorate that turned out so many Democrats will do an about-face and reelect an unpopular Obama?
I'm not overconfident, but I am confident.
I think we all agree that the Treason Media will pull out every stop to confuse and demoralize the anti-Obama opposition. Stunts such as this “poll” will be typical. You know where you undersample Republicans and pretend the results are definitive and the truth.
In REALITY it lies constantly. Using a sample of less than 32.5% Republicans in a Republican dominated state is standard operating procedure. Apparently the pollster thinks we are too stoopid to be able to see through their attempts at deception. Add about 17.5% percent to the Republican totals to get a true view of the voter feelings, in other words a GOP landslide.
I don’t think anyone thinks the GOP will get a walk in the park.
Of course Hussein doesn’t think he’ll get one either. Voter fraud and class warfare will have to be ramped up big time. He is going to give up on the white vote and probably the elderly, too.
The GOP will have a flawed candidate. But the Demonrats will have Hussein. And Hussein, as Americans have started to realize en masse, sucks.
Obama won Ohio in 2008:
51% for Obama
to
47% for McCain
But today, with a far worse economy, with much reduced popularity he will beat all Republican comers with no less than double the margin he beat McCain?
That must be why the state continues to elect democrats to leadership such as John Kasich. The state has obviously become much more liberal since 2008. Yeah, Ohio is in the bag for Obama. In fact, I think it would be unwise to spend any money in such an obvious win state for Obama /sarc
Conversely, the poll could just be awful and painfully biased. Some of it is just a lack of familiarity with the candidates but the idea that Obama would win by a greater margin than 2008 seems plainly ridiculous. What has he done or what has happened in Ohio that would bring about such a result? I see less than nothing to answer that question.
I’m sure if we poll enough democrats, democrats win— but as long as the democrats are not able to throw out all the Republican votes as they regularly do in places such as Cleveland, I bet it will be rather difficult for Obama to win Ohio.
So who paid for the poll? I never heard of this company.
I tell people this all the time too. People are angry at Obama, but they arnt exactly jumping up and down with excitement from any of the GOP candidates. This will be a tough election.
Ohio and Florida are MUST WIN STATES! If the GOP loses those two, the electoral math is basically impossible to win. The GOP would have to sweep the rest of the swing states PLUS steal a few upset blue states. And what are the issues in Ohio and Florida? High unemployment, and especially in Florida...a mortgage meltdown.
This is why the left is energizing the unions in Ohio, and Obama is now offering mortgage relief. It’s for states like Florida and Nevada. If the GOP opposes any kind of mortgage relief, they will lose ground in Florida and Nevada. Those states are drowning in mortgage debt.
I live in Ohio and I do not bee live this poll.Isn’t Quinnipac the one who said Kerry would win in 2004 by 15%?

Take these polls with a grain of salt. On the one side we have Obama. On the other side we have Cain, Romney, maybe Perry, and maybe Newt, with the remaining candidates hoping to pay off their campaign debt. When it comes down to a Cain or Perry candidacy against Obama, poll numbers will change. That isn’t to say that Republicans are going to have a walk in the park, but Obama is very beatable.
