Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Obama with 5 point advantage over Romney in Florida

Hehehe, Rasmussen again. First, he said the other polls were using "registered voters" model, not "likely voters." Now they've switched to "likely voters" and Obama's lead keeps growing. Curiously, when even Rasmussen, the pro-GOP outlier, had Obama up by 5 points nationally, our resident Rasmussen rep did not post any polls. Anyway, this poll below was conducted by the GOP. In other words, this is their own internal numbers. And Obama is clearly winning Ohio, without which Romney is toast.

GOP poll also shows Romney down in Ohio

A new GOP poll fresh out of the field in Ohio has good news and bad news for Republicans. The good news: Mitt Romney's deficit in Ohio is perhaps not as bad as the seven points the NBC/WSJ/Marist survey released last night has him down by. The bad news: Romney is still losing in the Buckeye State.

The Republican poll, an internal survey not taken for Romney's campaign, shows President Obama leading Romney by four points in Ohio. It was conducted this week. 

The numbers underline Romney's longstanding problems in Ohio, where he's taken a beating from Obama's campaign and liberal groups. But it's actually a sign of the depth of Romney's hole in the state that the results were greeted favorably by Republicans. Polling in Ohio before the conventions last month showed Romney with an even larger deficit, closer to double-digits.

That poll is dated indeed.  Here are the latest poll results in the battleground/swing states among LIKELY voters: 

 

                Romney           Obama

Florida       48                      46 

Ohio          46                     47

Virginia      48                     49

Average    47.3                  47.3

 

Not much to write home about, especially in Fl where the grandma over the cliff Medicare scare apparently has not worked for Obama.

In North Carolina, where the Democrats held their convention, Romney is now 51% and Obama 45%.

In addition, Romney has turned around Obama's 5% lead to him now leading Obama by 3% in just four days. With the way the Middle East crisis is going, Obama may need a miracle.
