Dispatch Poll: Ohio's a toss-up

Obama has edge, but high GOP turnout could turn Ohio to Romney

The “Ohio firewall” precariously stands for President Barack Obama, but a strong Republican turnout could enable Mitt Romney to tear it down on Election Day.

The final Dispatch Poll shows Obama leading 50 percent to 48 percent in the Buckeye State. However, that 2-point edge is within the survey’s margin of sampling error, plus or minus 2.2 percentage points.

Ohio remains the consensus top battlefield in the 2012 presidential election, and the campaigns are showing it: Both candidates and both running mates are here today, and three of the four are coming back on Monday. That will make 83 visits by presidential candidates to Ohio this year, a record at least in modern history.

Ive read this poll has been very accurately in predicting the winner in years past. This damn state just won’t budge...the Obama campaign has basically been poisoning it for the past four years.

I know. Very exciting to see this. It represents what i see with the early vote and spreadsheet. Actually still undercounting the republican enthusiasm i see in the data.

Nail bitingly close. FWIW, the Dispatch overestimated Obama’s winning margin in ‘08 by 1.5 points

I just saw this one and retweeted it:

Pretty good news for Romney.

These numbers certainly don’t guarantee he takes Ohio, but he is right in the thick of it and has got to feel very good about his chances.

And Romney’s own team said they have OH at +2 or -2 delpending on the polling day. It’s gonna be all about turn out. ALL the polls showing OH tied or Obama slightly ahead cannot be wrong. Period.

The only positive thing is early voting for dems is down from 2008 and up for pubbies in OH.

I heard on the radio today that we can expect from %2 up to as high as %6 in some swing states to be voter fraud and that number should be added to Obama’s side because of it.

I’m assuming this polling data has already considered that.

IMO Ohio is looking good, better than Virginia to be honest. If we can steal another midwestern state like Wisconsin or Pennsylvania, we could get some insurance incase Virginia goes sour.
