New Poll OH: Reuters-Obama 48%/ Romney 45% VA: Obama 48%/ Romney 46%

I think Reuters/Ipsos is emptying their polling vault right now. More good news out of Ohio.

Obama 48%
Romney 45%

Every credible pollster in the field is coming back with the exact same thing. The consistency of the polls coming out of Ohio are almost scary. The only way Obama loses Ohio is if EVERYBODY IS WRONG.

Virginia

Obama 48%
Romney 46%

Romney is not holding the south at all.

"Obama's lead in Ohio comes thanks to big advantages among women (55/43), African-Americans (86/12), and young voters (60/36). Romney's winning with men (52/46), whites (52/46), and seniors (54/45) but he would need to win those groups, particularly whites and men, by considerably wider margins if he was going to take the state."
