in Pa with working class people. It spread to Ohio which is a similar state. Michigan as well. Auto bail outs hurt him since he was against it. He just is not believed by them and they don't trust him. When you are losing working class whites in these areas that is an issue for a Republican. They might not vote for Obama but by not voting at all that gives Obama an edge as well. This is a good article about Romney's problems in PA: http://campaignstops.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/09/23/whats-wrong-with-pennsylvania/
