For what it's worth:
(Week of 8/11/2012) So far, Mitt Romneys announcement that Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan will be his vice-presidential running mate has helped the Republican presidential candidate little in his contest against President Barack Obama: in last weeks Economist/YouGov Poll, Romney and the incumbent were a point apart as the choice of registered voters. This week the President leads Romney by three points, 47% to 44%.

(2,404 posts)from light blue to outline on electoral-vote.com this AM, even without Ras....don't know if that's a Ryan thing or not.

(5,066 posts)That's because PPP has obama up by 3 and RAS has him up by 1.If not for RAs It would be leaning Democrat Instead of barely
democrat.

I think (hope) Ohio will remain in the Obama camp.
WI_DEM
(33,497 posts)which is no change from their previous Ohio poll, but it may be closer than some other recent Ohio polls, so maybe that is why??
