Obama helped the auto industry which Ohio relies on heavily. You can argue over the merits of the bailout all you want, but the fact is that Ohioans are glad that Obama bailed out Chrysler and GM. Secondly, the unemployment rate in Ohio is under 8% and the economy is growing.
Honestly, I don't think Romney has any chance any more, but if he does, I would suggest he concentrate his efforts in Florida and Virginia among the other swing states. I think he would be better off writing Ohio off and using his money in those other swing states where he has a better chance.
Ohio has a republican governor.
An unpopular Republican Governor.
I don't under stand why obama's approval just a few months back was being dragged down by the economy, and the economy has not gotten any better since July how can his approval rating be doing better now?
