NBC/Marist/WSJ Poll: Even After Listless Debate, Obama Leads By 6 In Ohio

It’s still unclear what the long-term fallout from President Barack Obama’s lackluster debate performance will be, but a poll released Thursday shows he continues to hold the upper-hand in the coveted bellwether of Ohio.

That’s the upshot of the latest survey from NBC News, Marist College and the Wall Street Journal, which shows Obama leading Romney among likely Buckeye State voters, 51 percent to 45 percent. While that’s a 2-point uptick for Romney since the previous NBC/Marist/WSJ poll Ohio released a week ago, which showed Obama up 51 percent to 43 percent, voters’ impressions of the two candidates have remained largely the same.
