Plus 7 D sample within the ME despite Pondarosa claims race is still tied in Ohio. What I found most intriguing is the Black vote in this poll is 79% for Obama and 11% for Romney with the remainder undecided. If this is anywhere near accurate Obama loses on Election Day.

Also the incumbent is stuck at 45% not a good sign despite a lead within ME.

Living in the past, I suppose? The effect of the Romney spanking won't be seen for a couple of days yet. So until then, they must try to "feel good" about their irrational Obama hatred.

At this point, I don't see how Romney can win without Ohio... When I make my own electoral map Romney just can't get over the Ohio problem. There hasn't been enough polls showing him in the lead there, also Nevada.

Telling yesterday Marquette's polling branch has Obama up by 1 in Wisconsin, and Tammy down by one. They are the most accurate polling firm in Wisconsin.

I don't usually do this but I'm going to say the Survey USA poll of Ohio is BS. There is no way there are that many undecideds left at this point.

RCP has Ohio +3 for Obama today. Doubt this reflects changes from the debate though:

Yeah it seems off the African American part is enough to call it into question. I highly doubt only 80% of Black Ohioan supports Obama and 10% are undecided. Also I know Ohio has a relatively high union percentage but is it a 25% of the population?

Still add it to the stew lest liberals on here accuse me of cherry picking polls.

Ohio is in the bag. It's tough for Reps to accept this as it is a virtual death sentence for Romney's hopes.
