Obama: 46%
Romney: 47%

Last WeAskAmerica poll of Ohio found Obama leading 48-40 back in July.

never heard of this agency...would be quite the Ohio bump if true. Honestly I never thought the first debate win would net such a bounce and am still not sure if I believe it.

but the internals seem fairly legit

Looks like WAA has gone back to its old ways.

This really doesn't make a lot of sense.....

Scotty has Obama up by 1 so this is definatly an outlier.

WWA has been around for a few years I think, but it isn't one of those top tier pollsters.

Their last poll was significantly more pro-Obama than the then average, so they seem to experience rather wild swings.

If only we knew what their numbers were in that Ohio poll that their client wouldn't let them release... that really would have been helpful in gauging any Romney bump.

WeAskAmerica is a pretty bad polster, though I'd still read this as some mild swing to Romney, maybe Ohio's ~Obama+3 now instead of ~Obama+5 after Wednesday's debate. WAA is bad but not that bad.

Outlier, but Romney is probably moving up in the swing states.

[Umengus]

In 2008, Obama won the national vote by 7,2 and won OH by 4,5. So if it's tied at national level or Obama +2, it's probable than Ohio is tied.

In2012, I don't think that Obama will perform better in OH than at national level and early voting suggest than Obama will do worst than in 2008.

Not disputing your challenging of the poll, but adding the observation that a debate on the economy in this climate is likely to be influential in affecting vote sentiment. Don't know if I believe the poll, and looking forward to more polls to determine if a trend exists, but if any debate were to be "the one to win" (so to speak) this would surely be it.

This.  We also had a PPP poll that had Obama at +4 just before the debate.
