Six points is not huge, but at this point, I do not see Romney getting over the hump in Ohio. The auto industry is big in Ohio, and Obama saved Chrysler and GM, which saved a lot of jobs here, while the Republicans were saying we should let those companies go belly up.
Let's be honest here...the GOP didn't say we should let the auto industry go "belly up"...they simply said that having them declare bankruptcy and reorganize was a better way to handle the problem than putting taxpayers on the hook for billions of dollars in bailouts. Obama didn't "save" Chrysler or GM...he saved benefits for the United Auto Workers who work for Chrysler and GM.
Lets be honest here...the auto companies themselves said they'd be forced into Chapter 13 with no help. GM did declare Chapter 11, and reorganized, but needed a lot of money to pull it off. Well, they pulled it off. Obama did save GM and Chrysler. They would have been out of business without that assistance.
