Polls: Obama leads in Ohio and Wis., tied in Ind.

By The Associated Press – 44 minutes ago

THE POLL: Washington Post-ABC News poll of 772 likely Ohio voters (20
electoral votes).

THE NUMBERS: Barack Obama, 51 percent; John McCain, 45 percent.

OF INTEREST: Obama's lead revolves around the worry about the economy.
Those who say it is the biggest issue favor Obama 61-34 percent; those
who say the biggest issue is something else back McCain 57-38 percent.
Obama is generating more enthusiasm among his voters: 58 percent say
they are very enthusiastic while 30 percent say the same about McCain.
Women are solidly backing Obama 56-42 percent; in 2004 they split evenly
between George W. Bush and John Kerry. Only about half of all Ohio
voters think Obama is experienced enough to be president.

DETAILS: The poll was conducted by telephone Oct. 3-5 with 772 likely
voters out of a total sample of 1,010 adults in Ohio. The sampling error
was plus or minus 3 percentage points.

THE POLL: A WISH-TV Indiana Poll of likely Indiana voters (11 electoral
votes).

THE NUMBERS: John McCain 46 percent, Barack Obama 46 percent.

similar poll of the state by the same company released last week found
McCain with 46 percent support to Obama's 45 percent.

DETAILS: Conducted Sept. 29-Oct. 3 by telephone of 800 likely voters by
Maryland-based Research 2000. Margin of error plus or minus 3.5
percentage points.

THE POLL: CNN/Time magazine/Opinion Research Corp. of 859 likely voters
in Wisconsin (10 electoral votes).

THE NUMBERS: Obama 51, McCain 46.

OF INTEREST: The poll is in line with other recent surveys showing Obama
with a small lead in Wisconsin, but the race remains close. CNN says the
numbers are enough to put Wisconsin in the "leaning toward Obama"
category instead of a toss-up.

DETAILS: Conducted Oct. 3-6 by telephone. The poll has a margin of error
of 3.5 percentage points.
