New Poll has Obama up by 5 in Wisconsin

[WI_DEM]

(It's one of those Angus-Reid polls apparently they have a good track record in Canada and now are doing some polling here):

Obama Leads Romney by Five Points in Wisconsin
In the U.S. Senate race, Tammy Baldwin is ahead of Tommy Thompson by just three points.
[NEW YORK – Oct. 22, 2012] – Democrat Barack Obama is leading Republican Mitt Romney in the Wisconsin, a new Angus Reid Public Opinion poll has found.

In the online survey of a representative sample of 502 likely voters in the Badger State, 51 per cent of decided voters would support the Democratic incumbent in next month’s United States presidential election, while 46 per cent would cast a ballot for Republican Party nominee Mitt Romney.

While male voters are evenly divided when assessing the two candidates (49% would vote for Obama, and 49% for Romney), the incumbent president holds a nine-point advantage among women (53% to 44%).

Obama is ahead of Romney among decided voters aged 18-to-34 (58% to 37%), while those over the age of 55 prefer the Republican nominee (53% to 46%). Voters aged 35-to-54 are evenly split (49% would vote for Obama, 48% would support Romney).

In the U.S. Senate race to replace the retiring Herb Kohl, Democrat Tammy Baldwin is three points ahead of Republican contender Tommy Thompson (50% to 47%) among decided voters.

2. Knee Jerk is to immediately discount online survey's

Though the result is inline with what I would expect

3. Online Survey -- Isn't that Open to easy Manipulation?

6. No. It's not one of those online surveys

You are thinking of those cnn and fox website polls where you can ask people to "freep" or "DU'" a poll. No. This is a scientific poll. Yougov is online and they're very good. The Ipsos tracking poll is online too.

4. Thanks

I was getting worried about Wisconsin. Solid poll here. If Obama wins Ohio and Wisconsin, it's over because he will win Nevada.

7. Decent numbers for Tammy Baldwin

She's ahead in the majority of polls, and Nate Silver projects her to win.

I think Rasmussen has Thompson ahead 2 points today.
