The Wall Street Journal, NBC News and Marist College produce the umpteenth poll of the week showing Barack Obama with a steady edge in Ohio and a very close race in Florida: The surveys found the two battling neck-and-neck in Florida, with Mr. Obama drawing 49% support among likely voters to Mr. Romney's 47%. Mr. Obama held a firmer lead in Ohio—51% to 45%, unchanged from mid-October—where the relatively more buoyant economy and the federal bailout of the auto industry appear to have solidified his support among a wide swath of voters. In both states, Mr. Obama got high marks from all sides for his management of recovery efforts after the storm Sandy hit the East Coast. That tracks an array of polls taken in the past week suggesting that Mr. Romney's rise may have flattened out just before Sandy landed, an event that sucked national attention away from the campaign trail. In the Florida and Ohio polls, even a majority of Republican voters approved of Mr. Obama's handling of the storm's aftermath. The Florida result is significantly different from the Miami Herald poll published earlier tonight, but it's in line with the bulk of public polling showing a narrowly divided state. The Journal highlights the stability of Obama's performance in Ohio, where he fares better with whites than he does nationally, and where "little changed in [the electorate's] views in recent weeks." Romney launched his final weekend of campaigning in Ohio tonight and evidently needs a last-minute boost to overcome a pretty stable Obama lead.

Almost every country in the Middle East is awash in oil, and we have to side with the one that has nothing but joos. Goddamn, that was good thinkin'. Esso posted on 2012-01-13 7:37:56 ET

Has menopause fucked with your feeble mind as well as your hormones or are you exhibiting some early alzhimers? Your babbling on these forums is embarrassing.
Exactly right. The Marist poll is assuming a 8% Democrat advantage in turnout. That is just not going to happen. The GOP is likely to have a 1% to 2% advantage in turnout. This flaw in their model invalidates their conclusions.
Obama up 6 in Ohio, 2 in Fla.
