Mellman Group has Obama up 49% to 44% in Ohio.

With just over a week until ElectionDay, our recently completed surveyshows President Obama leading MittRomney in Ohio by 5 percentage points(49% Obama, 44% Romney). Obama’slead in the Buckeye State is bolsteredby a strong performance among the 23% who say they have already voted.In that segment he garners more thantwice as many votes as Romney (63%Obama, 29% Romney).

Obama also performs well with swingvoters, holding a 7-point lead overRomney among independents (44%Obama, 37% Romney) and a 15-pointlead among moderates (52% Obama, 37% Romney). Moreover, Obama’s margin among Democrats(+90 points) is larger than Romney’s among Republicans (+83 points). Obama’s strength amongindependents, coupled with his fully consolidated base, puts him in a solid position going into the final week.

Ohioans also like President Obama better than Governor Romney. Fifty-three percent (53%) viewPresident Obama favorably, compared to 45% who view him unfavorably. By contrast, only 46% viewRomney favorably while 50% are unfavorable. Obama also holds a clear image advantage amongindependents, with a majority viewing him favorably (53% favorable, 42% unfavorable). Romney, onthe other hand, is viewed unfavorably by a majority of these swing voters (41% favorable, 52 unfavorable).
