1. You're fast!

I was just about to post that, but you beat me to it!

[aaaaaa5a]

6. Actually, I'm not fast enough!

When I was finished posting, I looked and 2 other people had already posted the results!


I guess we were all waiting with "baited breath!"

[ProudProgressiveNow]

31. Or is it abated breath.....?

I have seem both versions....

[aaaaaa5a]

32. I stand corrected. I think you are right! nt

[PABigDaddyDemocrat]

44. You're both right...and wrong.

The word is "bate," meaning:

"To moderate or restrain (a variation of "abate&quot : to bate one's enthusiasm, and, "to lessen or diminish," and "with bated breath - in a state of suspenseful anticipation."

Happy to clear that up. Carry on.

-Chuck

46. Thank you!

[11 Bravo]

47. So as Romney continues to try and moderate himself, he proves to be a master bater.

[hrmjustin]

2. Great news!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

3. Since it's PPP that's not a bad poll

[fujiyama]

4. I'm starting to like the PPP numbers I'm seeing

People have said it's a Dem pollster but they've been accurate in the past. Let's hope these numbers are real!

[aaaaaa5a]

8. With some of the numbers they have posted this election cycle....

we can't call them Democratic leaning anymore.

[Jennicut]

10. Other polls have aligned with PPP.

Time is 5% and CNN is at 4%. Even ARG and Purple Strategies have it at 2% for Obama.

[DarthDem]

11. And

Gravely Faketing has the president by 1. Looking bad for Mittens in Ohio.

[reflection]

45. This made me LOL.

"Gravely Faketing"

[DarthDem]

48. Glad to Oblige!!

[Blue Owl]

5. Hear that, Kasich?

[Jennicut]

7. 4 points, consistent with what CNN found.

4 points at this late state of a campaign is not good for Mittens. He knows he must find an alternative to OH but WI looks worse for him. I love it.

[Maximumnegro]

25. It's over. That's 14 or 15 OH polls in 2 weeks w/ Obama leading

or tied. There is no way on God's green earth Romney has Ohio. None. Zilch. Zero. Not in 9 days. It's time to go in for the kill.

[TroyD]

9. I feel more comfortable about OHIO now : )

OHIO - PRESIDENT (Obama +4)

Public Policy Polling

Obama - 51

Romney - 47

Our new Ohio poll finds Barack Obama leading Mitt Romney 51-47, up from 49-48 last week

[GLOBAL LIBERAL]

12. Oh No! that is a tie

If Gregory/Todd/Blitzer's kids get B or C grade in school , they will go fight the principal saying that is really A grade..

[TroyD]

13. Will be interesting to see how this effects Nate Silver's Model tonight

Last night Obama went down 1 point because of the Cincinnati Ohio poll showing a Tie.

I have a feeling Obama will go up tonight.

[Drunken Irishman]

14. Hey Mitt...

[ncav53]

19. lol

[RBInMaine]

15. COME ON OHIO DEMS ! CLOSE THE DEAL !! :-) WORK LIKE ALL HELL RIGHT THROUGH ELECTION DAY. !!

[blazeKing]

16. I'm starting to hear something

Ahhh yes, the sound of that billion dollars wasted on Rmoney going up in flames.

[Mr.Turnip]

17. Ohio seems to solidifying for us.

[blazeKing]

18. Essentially a tie

[Blaukraut]

24. We should mail Blitzer a box full of old 70s ties after the election

Like this beauty here

[flamingdem]

29. LOL ! nt

[Deep13]

20. It's getting to a point where you can't even buy an election anymore.

Billionaires paid good money for those electors! And now these socialist voters want to make it all about free elections, free thought. and free choice. What's next? Free healthcare? Get a job, you hippie voters!

[Proud liberal 80]

21. Just like I thought

RCP has not posted this poll yet. Still showing the old PPP from oct 20. They were quick to post the old Ohio poll that showed a tie. That is actually on the top even though there have been others that were newer.

[Fringe]

23. I agree, and I have noticed the same thing!

They also will put a good poll for Obama at the bottom and a good poll for Romney at the top.

[shayes51]

22. Maybe this will help me sleep tonight.

For some reason, around 1 AM, I tend to think that this election rests entirely on my shoulders.

[smorkingapple]

26. PPP robopolls too so real numbers are better

Obama is taking this state 52-47 if not 53-46.

[treestar]

27. TIED!!!

[Lex]

28. BREAKING CNN NEWS: Ohio is tied.

Because 51 - 47 is umm . . . tied.

[TroyD]

30. RCP has now added the PPP poll & the Gravis poll

Both showing Obama ahead.

It was probably a disappointment for RCP after the Cincinnati Enquirer poll that showed a Tie.

[BainsBane]

33. with a sizable gender gap

Obama leading among women by 55/43. MSM BS about no gender gap is just that, BS.

[LisaL]

35. Which is good for us, since women usually outvote men.

[moderatedemocrat]

34. i feel confident for ohio to go blue

Another poll came out today which is called Pharos. It has Obama with 50%-45%. Huffingtonpost has it

[renate]

36. I hope you're right!

Welcome to DU!

[cheezmaka]

37. Go Romney!

(I mean "away from the White House!&quot

[CaliforniaPeggy]

38. Damn, I almost alerted on you!

You scared me!

[cheezmaka]

43. LOL

I put in several smilies to magnify the "sarcasm"...

[IrishMidget]

39. But but but....

Republicans were so sure they had won Ohio now....

[hogwyld]

42. Welcom to DU! n/t

[WI_DEM]

40. CNN on PPP poll: 'It's a tie' on Ras poll: 'Romney well ahead in Ohio'

[RomneyLies]

41. This poll is why Snotty (R)asmussen put out his piece of shit OH poll today

where he polled an equal number of Republicans and Democrats.
