PPP: It's Down To 1 In Ohio
Obama 49, Romney 48.
They push the idea that Obama has the whip-hand because he has more already-cast votes. Well, that's nice, but the poll also surveys such voters. All in all, it's still 49-48.
In addition, CAC has pointed out that the percentage of voters claiming to have already voted in polls is almost double the percentage who actually have voted.
The RCP average is down to 2.1.
BTW: An erroneous report from Sam Stein is making the rounds, but his update essentially says "Nevermind."
His report originally said that Romney was moving 60 staffers into Pennsylvania, and looks to add more, which is huge, enormous news.
It is now corrected to say that Romney already has 60 staffers in PA, and hopes to add more. Which isn't news at all-- it's just the campaign saying how many people they have there now, and have had there for months. Plus, an intention to move more there, but of course they intend that. I'm sure they hope to close down their VA, NC, and FL offices and move people into Obama-leaning states. Whether they will or not is the question.
So, as nice as this one is, it's not true.
