A weekly survey of Ohio voters by Rasmussen Reports shows Obama taking his first small lead in that state.
The latest Fox News/Rasmussen Reports telephone poll in the state finds Obama leading 49% to 47%.
This is the first poll where Obama has been ahead since tracking of the race began in February. McCain has led by a single percentage points for the past three weeks…
The crashing of the Bush unregulated, deficit-based economy is one factor in Obama’s positioning, along with the candidates’ debate performances and vice presidential selections. Ohioans just aren’t that into Sarah Palin.
Just 29% of voters say they would not be at all comfortable with Biden as VP, compared to 42% who say the same about Palin. Sixty-seven percent (67%) of Ohio voters say they would be at least somewhat comfortable with Joe Biden as Vice President, while only 54% say that about Sarah Palin.
