President Obama and Jay-Z in Columbus, Ohio
Obama supporter Harvey Weinstein has been talking about his decision to air the Navy Seal documentary of the Osama bin Laden raid two days before the election. "I didn't have to do anything to remind people of what Barack Obama did," he tells Piers Morgan with a wide smile
Weinstein also jokes that the the acting from the politicans would make the perfect movie. COLUMBUS, Ohio — Which is more powerful: Disgust toward Barack Obama, or distrust of Mitt Romney?
Ohio’s answer to the question could well determine who is President for the next four years.
This state’s 18 electoral votes are vital in almost every scenario that gets Romney to the magic total of 270. He’s got powerful allies here in Gov. John Kasich and Sen. Rob Portman — and it’s a state that overall seems far more receptive to the GOP than it was in 2008, when Obama beat John McCain by 4.6 percentage points. After carrying out one of the biggest surveys ever, YouGov’s jumbo analysis has found the Democratic president will narrowly pip Republican rival Mitt Romney by two per cent in the overall popular vote.
Crucially that will return him to the White House with a victory of 303 votes to 235 in the all-important Electoral College.But it’s here that the incumbent’s vaunted, micro-targeted ground game is in full force, where the economy is coming back to life, and where Obama has been consistently leading by a point or two or three in recent polls.
The Real Clear Politics average of Ohio polls puts Obama’s margin at 2.8 percentage points: slim but serious, like the man himself.
