His UNFAVORABLE rating hits the 50% mark in Ohio. We think this is evidence that in Ohio, specifically, the Obama personal attacks on Romney’s wealth and tax returns have taken the greatest toll.

IMO, it is the auto bailout controversy that has done Mitt in in Ohio, where there are a lot of auto workers, and, relatively speaking, stronger unions than in many states. They don't look kindly on him taking credit for the success of the bailout, claiming that Obama just took his plan. I think that clumsy idiocy hurt him in both Ohio and Michigan. Obama supported the unions with his plan, while Romney's plan, sketchy as it was, would have supported the bondholders more and hurt the unions.
