Ohio voters think Obama won the debate 48-39, but it's not translating to extra votes for him there

Romney close in Ohio because he's up 49-42 with independents and now up to 90% of the GOP vote

1. good news, love this rMoney, should be used on twitter

[qazplm]

2. working the percentages

that means dead even 49 -49. Obama just needs to close the gap to say 6 pts for election day voters and he wins.

3. What?

Go ahead, Ohio, vote against your own best interests.

Unbelievable.

Come on, Ohio, wake the * up!

5. Now everyone can better understand

why so often Michiganders roll their eyes at Ohio.

7. I don't understand

Don't the people of Ohio stop and think, what if we had listened to Romney and let the car industry DIE in this country. What if the president hadn't saved us from what would have been the SECOND Great Depression? I could go on.

I just don't understand. I don't get it.

12. You sound like you're from MI.

Maddening, isn't it?

13. And at Indiana.....

4. WTF? Really? What is wrong w/people?

6. Come on guys. Can we make a deal to post polls in the Politics forum?

Some of us choose not to be assaulted with all this contradictary polling information. It allows the user to trash the forum containing polls and everything explaining them. Just a friendly suggestion.

8. They

Are poling landlines ONLY and the President still has the lead. NBC/WSJ/Marist just polled there including cellphones and he was up. Do not let this one poll make you get all down. Please don't do it.

10. What was the result

of the NBC poll for OH?

[krawhitham]

14. They were only polling landlines last week too when Obama had a 5 point lead

[LisaL]

17. I thought that poll was funky too because they had Obama at a huge lead among those

who are already voted. While Obama does lead among those who already voted, it's not by 50 points.
It wasn't consistent with other two polls.

[BeyondGeography]

11. Makes perfect sense

Most Ohians thought Obama won the debate, including independents by a wide margin, and PPP tightens.

NBC puts their numbers out the other night and PPP tweets, "ours are better for Romney." They're starting to smell.

[LisaL]

16. There recent polls on a few states were very different from NBC.

And they do seem almost gleeful when tweeting about polls that are good for Romney.

[OldDem2012]

15. Folks, the Likely Voter issue has been discussed ad nauseum on this board....

....pollsters are claiming that Democrats are less enthusiastic than Republicans and therefore less likely to vote. The numbers they post are reflective of that believe.

The pollsters and the media want you to believe women and Latino voters are not going to vote in a wide margin for the President.

Do you believe any of the above? Do you know any Democrat who is less enthusiastic about voting this year?

Here's a simple rule of thumb for any poll taken in a swing state that is trending to the Democrats: add 5-10 pts to the Democratic side of the ledger.

And finally, who are the pollsters calling who are indicating Romney is more popular now than he was in February? Do you really believe that?

[Brewinblue]

18. And a 32 point Obama lead among early voters

certainly indicates a lack of enthusiasm by Dems. Too many of these polls make zero statistical sense, or at least the methodology makes no sense.

20. Not good news, PPP is not Ras. We must redouble our efforts and maybe give some more dough

to help counter the next two weeks of negative ads blitz from the scum...

And on Monday, our President will make Rmoney look like a fool!!!

Then, its up to the people...

If OH in the end, votes for Mittens, they are really stupid and this country is fucked.

Landlines, cellphones what polling outfit, its all BS at the end of the day. If enough people are dumb enough to vote AGAINST their self interest, its fucking scary really...

Organize, GOTV, contribute thats all we can do folks. We can do it, we will do it, we must do it!!!

[outsideworld]

21. it would be a fucking slap in the face after POTUS going out on a Limb to save them

[kjackson227]

22. If at all possible...

we need to continue to donate to the campaign until November 6 (I know I will). I can't believe either that the American voter is so naive as to be hoodwinked by Romney (especially after all of his lies, the 47% comment, and after what's happening with Sensata), but apparently some of us are. Nate Silver's numbers haven't changed yet so I think we're still okay, but lets not wait until the last minute before donating more.
