PPP in Wisconsin: Romney - 48%, Obama - 47%

[pbrower2a]

PPP says this represents a 7 point shift since mid-July.

Obama's job approval rating is 46/50%
Romney's favorable rating is 45/48%
Joe Biden favorable rating is 41/48%
Paul Ryan favorable rating is 49/45%

Sample is R+2.

The Obama approval rating is one point higher than the Romney favorable rating, and the sample is R+2 in a state that is at least even.

Paul Ryan may have an effect for now - an unusually-high one for a VP nominee. Wisconsin voters will soon get to know him as they never knew him before, which might not be such a great thing for Romney. Joe Biden isn't popular in Wisconsin.

Accepted with the caveat that PPP may be bending over backwards to let Republicans think that they have a chance in Wisconsin.
