Ouch this is gonna hurt Mitt Romney
A New poll released Today from We Ask America (a republican poll) has President Obama holding a solid lead over Mitt Romney in the state of Ohio.
TPM:
In the latest auotomated survey from WeAskAmerica, Obama earns the support of 48 percent of likely Ohio voters, while Romney trails with 40 percent. Gary Johnson, who is running on the Libertarian ticket, picks up the support of 2 percent of voters.

What pops out immediately is the high percentage of self-described Republicans who say they will vote for Barack Obama over Mitt Romney. An outlier? Perhaps. But we went back into the field last night to test it again. The results: almost identical. Hmmm. We going to keep an eye on that.
Since Independents are leaning toward Romney, if the “wayward” GOP electorate come back home to roost, this will tighten up considerably and quickly. And a rumored choice of Ohio Senator Rob Portman as Romney’s VP running mate could reverse what we’re seeing today

Thanks to Txdem, for flagging the internals
I've always been amazed how the President has been consistently ahead of Romney in Ohio.
This is poll 'ought to give Mitt Romney something to think about besides acting like Mr. Bean yesterday in London.
