Following the county-by-county results as they come in from Ohio, and the early results are VERY good. In almost every county, Obama's margins are BETTER than what they were in 2008. Now, caveat that this is early. But, let's consider:
Logan County: 2008: 62.3 vs 35.7 for McCain. +26.6 for McCain.
2012: 60.0 vs 38.4 for Romney. +21.6 for Romney (early)
Cuyahoga: 2008: 68.9 vs 30.1 for Obama +38.8 for Obama
2012: 70.3 vs 28.8 for Obama +41.5 for Obama.
Hamilton: 2008: 53.0 vs 46.0 for Obama +7 for Obama
2012: 56.7 vs 42.3 for Obama +14.4 for Obama
As I said, it's very early, but I could go on and on... across the state, it appears that Obama's margins are actually up over his 2008 numbers...
And, as a reminder, Obama won by 4.6 pts...
Let's hope this stays
