Dispatch Poll: Obama widens lead as balloting starts

By Darrel Rowland

From Day One, Mitt Romney’s bid for the presidency has rested on the belief that his ability to turn around faltering businesses would translate into turning around the country.

But before he has that chance, it appears the former Massachusetts governor first must turn around his own campaign.

A new Dispatch Poll shows him trailing President Barack Obama in bellwether Ohio by 9 points, 51 percent to 42 percent.

A surge of Democratic support for Obama has transformed the race since the first Dispatch Poll had the two dead-even at 45 percent just before the Republican National Convention in late August.

1. Could it be that voter suppression can trump a 9 point lead

2. I'm happy but still nervous

I just so want the president to destroy Romney in the first debate.

Actually, what I really want is it to be the day after the election and I can wake up with that sense of RELIEF that it's over with, that we've won.

These next five weeks are going to be nerve-wracking. We're so close to the end!
