That's a national poll, not an ohio poll, moron.
Then that's what you should have said in the first place moron. Give me an Ohio poll that is recent that gives real clear politics a right to call Ohio in Obama's favor?
The most recent poll I'm aware of is from February and Romney was within the margin of error and Santorum was doing better in that poll. Presumably, Romney has taken a lot of that support too.
I went to the RCP site, listed in the OP, and clicked on Ohio. Here's three polls from Ohio.
RCP Average 2/29 - 3/26 -- 48.3 39.7 Obama +8.6
Rasmussen Reports 3/26 - 3/26 500 LV 48 40 Obama +8
Quinnipiac 3/20 - 3/26 1246 RV 47 41 Obama +6
NBC News/Marist 2/29 - 3/2 1573 RV 50 38 Obama +12

TY. But my point would still be that that is a quite old poll with a huge margin for error. That polling was conducted while Santorum and Romney were in the midst of hitting each other hard while competing for the Ohio prize. If you wanted to find a time to make Romney look bad in an Ohio poll that'd be the perfect poll. Many self identified evangelicals in particular would have not been for Romney for the sake of making Santorum look better. Anybody that thinks that Obama is really ahead by 8.6 is a dumbass. That is a swing state and its way too close to call.
Well, there's also the recent swing state poll, that has Obama beating Romney by 9 points in the 11 swing states.

Romney had leads or was close in swing states in November/December. It's not surprising that he lost a lot during a tough primary. But Americans don't have long memories. The polls will tighten again as Obama has to start defending his weak and inept record. Just wait til he has to start defending his lies and his weak economy. This thing is going to turn around fast.

Wishful thinking. Romney earned the nickname Mr. Etch-a-Sketch. As he tries to shake off his right wing pandering, and move to the center, that narrative is going to stick. Now that Romney is the presumptive nominee, you'll see everything he says fact checked.

Interesting... RCP had Obama at 233 for a while, but they've jumped it up by putting PA, OH, and CO into the Leans Obama Column.
I'm not sure what prompted the change, especially since Romney's been closing the gap in PA.

Not really. In fact, in all of his elections, Romney has started strong and grown weaker as people got to know him better.

The actual numbers. Initially that bugged me until I realized that they weren't estimates. Rather they are based on the most recent polls. It's not really surprising to see Romney down after a relatively nasty Republican primary. It's going to tighten from here. Don't expect that 280 to last. Many races will soon be back within the margin of error and won't lean.

Propaganda. I've seen documentaries. And Romney actually made ground to win his governorship. Nice try guy.

Actually, Romney will lose more states than McCain did. I think he'll take back Indiana but lose Arizona and Missouri.
Incidently, the ONLY reason why the GOP primary was "nasty" was because Romney defeated his opponents purely through the use of negative ads. His complaining about a "nasty" primary season is like the kid who killed his parents lamenting he's an orphan.
Sweet Evil Jesus, I can't believe you people sometimes.

Uh, no, actually, he didn't. He ran against a non-entity named Shannon O'Brien,a nd despite massively outspending her, he only beat her by a couple of points, and only lost because the Green Party split the anti-Romney vote.
Barack Obama is not Shannon O'Brien.

Do you really think that after all the lawsuits the federal government has filed against Arizona that Zonies are going to vote for obama? Do you think that Arizona is just going to forget fast and furious when the killings with governent supplied guns are happening on their own border? In their own state.

He was initially way down in the polls though. So I just showed how you just threw out a lie to make a false point. Got it guy?
This is hokum. It's mostly guess work as there aren't active polls on most of those states. I doubt they did an actual Massachusetts poll for example. That was listed as dark blue for Obama. And lately it has went for Dems, but I doubt that the idiots bothered to remember that Romney is well liked in Massachusetts and he has a real shot.
Ohio was given to Obama to put him over the edge. They conveniently ignore today's Rasmussen poll (listed on their own site) that has Obama and Romney tied 45-45. What is that all about?
