Quality polls are almost never entirely dismissable. But presidential elections are so fluid that they must be taken advisedly and with caution. If psephology were more reliable, we would be reminiscing about President Dukakis.

SUSA has Obama up in Ohio (poll out today). Indeed, SUSA has him further ahead in Ohio than in Rasmussen has him in either PA (??) or NH (!!!). I think a lot depends on the details of the poll. Part of the problem is that polls make assumptions, necessarily about turnout, and about racial proportions in turnout, which might be hard to gauge this season.

No effing WAY micelf? Obama up in Ohio?  That's got to be a first.  What happened?

OH is all about the swing voters; there is a large segment of the population which does not care about parties and tickets. These people tend to seriously consider the candidates' position on their favorite issues (usually directly connected to their pocketbooks) and go where they feel most comfortable.

With a lack of certifiable differences this year, the primary went to Hillary because of a sense of respect for her "seniority", a concept prevalent in the state.

Throw in a little being mad at Bush, and Obama should have an easy time reeling in the state; I am thinking that he focuses on what he will do to repair the recent damage for best results.
