Title: Ohio Newspaper Poll: McCain by 6
Post by: xzcyhj on September 20, 2008, 06:38:33 PM
In the battle for Ohio’s 20 electoral votes, Republican presidential nominee John McCain holds a 48-42 percent lead over Democratic opponent Barack Obama — but with lots of time left in a volatile race, according to the first Ohio Newspaper Poll.

The poll also surveyed Ohio voters on health care, energy, and their personal financial situations — with nearly half saying they are worse off today than four years ago.

The Ohio News Organization — a cooperative formed this year by the state’s eight largest daily newspapers — commissioned the poll. The Institute for Policy Research at the University of Cincinnati, which also runs the respected Ohio Poll, surveyed 869 likely Ohio voters Sept. 12-16, with an error margin of plus or minus 3.3 percentage points.

Two more Ohio Newspaper Polls will be conducted before the Nov. 4 election — on the Iraq war and national security and on the economy.

Yeah that poll is out of date, the paper must have been holding it so they could release it for the Sunday paper.
