Ohio: McCain up by 5
Rasmussen has McCain up by 5 in Ohio. That’s 48-43% and includes leaners. It’s 45-41 among likely voters. Previous polls had it:
PPP, Aug 18, tied 45-45
Quinnipiac, July 31, 46-44, Obama
It’s not smart to compare different polls and find a trend, but this definitely looks like a trend. Anyway, there’s still 76 days before the election- anything can happen. (Via PolitickerOH.)
The trend is there, no doubt. Still more potential upside for Obama to grow bringing in disaffected Democrats / Hillary supporters. But better to be ahead than not.
