Polls Show Ohio As a Toss-Up

PPP has it now Romney +1 37-36, leading amongst those who decided in last few days. Numbers currently only on twitter (@ppppolls) but should be up on their main site soon.
Larry Sabato, I think correctly, pegged Romney carrying 6-7 states on Super Tuesday.
But Rasmussen has Santorum +1. ARG has Romney +7, and Qunnippiac has it Romney +3.
Of course that is current sentiment. But people have been casting early ballots for weeks.
Among such voters, a Suffolk poll says that Santorum has a seventeen point lead.
According to the survey, 13% of likely voters have already cast their vote. A seventeen-point advantage could be decisive, especially if turnout drops off tomorrow and that percentage of early voting ends up being larger than 13%.
A Marist poll has Romney up 3 among early voters. Which I think is wrong. It makes a lot more sense that Santorum would be.
In any event, the smaller the subgroup you're looking at, the higher the Margin of Error.
