University of Cincinnati: Obama up by 5 in Ohio

[dspNY]

This is the gold standard poll in Ohio...in 2004 their final poll was Bush 50, Kerry 49, and the final result was Bush 51, Kerry 49.

In 2008 their final poll was Obama 52, McCain 46, and the final result was Obama 51, McCain 47.

They haven't missed a statewide race (Presidential, Governor, or Senate) since 1994 (34 straight correct polls), so if this poll says Obama is up 5 and at 51%, he's probably up by at least 4 points and at most 6-7, and is surely above the 50% threshold.

Very good poll for Obama.

Another Joke poll for OH
Obama 51/Romney 46
(Dems +6…48%D/42%R/10%I)
48% Dems? Almost half of Ohio is Democratic? I don’t think so.
in 2008 it was 39D 31R 30I in 2010 37R 36D 27I in 2012 it will be 36D 35R 29I
The poll indicates that Democrats are slightly more likely to vote than Republicans this year, and Obama supporters are more enthusiastic about the election than are Romney backers. However, Romney is winning independents by a large margin!! So reduce the I-vote by 19% and give them to the D`s and oh whta a surprise suddenly Obama leads!! LAUGHABLE!! The truth in this poll is Romney is slightly ahead!

I smell the desperation here...that polling outfit hasn't missed a statewide race since 1994. Face it, your candidate is drowning in the Buckeye State, and will have to not only win all the undecideds, but convince Obama supporters to change their minds.
