I wonder how many out of state plates and people are wandering around that state.
Is this a Joey Buffoon Clown poll? These people are way out of touch with reality.
D 40
R 36
I 24
The poll oversampled Rats by 4.
This is odd.
“The key finding on this poll may be how the early voters are breaking out. 19% of people say they’ve already cast their ballots and they report having voted for Obama by a 76-24 margin. Romney has a 51-45 advantage with those who haven’t voted yet, but the numbers make it clear that he already has a lot of ground to make up in the final three weeks before the election.”
hate to say it but I think Ohio is going to be in the Obama column.... they’ve hammered the airwaves with Obama ads and its having its impact.. the message of “why change now” is working... I know quiet a few people in Ohio and they can’t believe the number of people they know that are voting for Obama.
Every poll, national and swing states, since debate has shown a Romney bounce of 4-7 points - including in Ohio. Yet this Dem poll shows an Obama gain?
This is a bogus poll meant to pump up left and stop Romney momentum. Won’t work.

How do we account for the difference between LS' numbers and these?
It seems a far stretch to say "well, the Dems are just casting their reduced number of absentee ballots more quickly than Republicans."
So something is funny in the numbers - no?
... I understand that the first response is going to be "PPP is totally biased, in the tank for Obama."
Maybe that is the answer - but is it sincerely the answer? What explains the contrast without sheer (even educated) speculation?
I call BS on this
Looking at the secondary questions, and the percentages on different issues, it is clear this poll is deeply flawed. It shows drastically different results among independents, positions on issues, etc. I think we can ignore this one unless we see similar results elsewhere.
I think Romney better start focusing on states that could potentially replace Ohio’s EVs in the path to victory. Sounds like they’re enjoying Obama’s $18 billion corporate welfare payment way too much to vote against him.
A PPP poll is about as credible as a Alexrod talking point ...

Gravis Poll
R 46
O 45
D 36.4, R 33.1, I 30.5
This poll has a much better sample. Although it is more likely to be an even, or R + 1 or 2 on election day.
PPP is a lying Rat pollster and full of it!
Gravitas just two days ago had Romney up one with a +6 D sample. Don’t buy this for a minute. This outfit is by far the most biased for reasons OTHER than the D/R split. I won’t go into their questions again, but I’m confident in the earlier poll. This is not an outlier. It’s a fraud.
BTW, the way you KNOW this poll is bogus is the Brown/Mandell number: every other recent poll has this tied or has Mandell ahead, but this one has an 8-point Brown lead. So, I submit to you the right # here is Romney by 3, and yes, if he wins OH by 3 it will be a very big win nationally.
Hmmm? I wonder who the families of the four who were murdered in Libya would favor in this goofy poll? The Ohian people, and the rest of the people in the country, better wake up and realize that this administration can’t be trusted to tell the truth.
WaPo caught PPP with their hand in the cookie jar. These people are frauds. Outed by less dishonest fellow libs.
Are they trying to tell us that nothing has changed in Ohio with the polling since the First debate of Romney/Obama and now the VP debate too?
I think they must be having push polls.
