What role with Gary Johnson and Jill Stein have in the results?

Rachel Maddow pointed this out last night. CNN has an Ohio Poll with Obama and Romney where Obama is winning 50-47. But when Johnson and Stein are added the result is:

47 Obama
44 Romney
5 Johnson
1 Stein

Who is Johnson taking votes from? Seems like 3 points from Romney and 2 from Obama. How much 4 way polling is out there? Is there a libertarian surprise or spoiler out there for Romney?

Drawing pro-pot votes away from Obama - otherwise I think he's just someone who will get the Paultards who wouldn't vote otherwise to the polls.

would be more from Romney (due to Johnson picking up some of the Insane Ron Paul Followers Vote :^)... but yes, I know that a few marijuana supporters who might vote for O. will go for Johnson.
