Mitt Romney now leads the presidential race in Ohio according to Rassmussen.

This is the first time that Mitt has led the Ohio race.

Rasmussen reported:

The race for Ohio’s Electoral College votes remains very close, but now Mitt Romney now has a two-point advantage. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Ohio Voters shows Romney with 50% support to President Obama’s 48% . One percent (1% ) likes some other candidate, while another one percent (1% ) remains undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Based on the current projections, Romney would have to win Wisconsin if he loses Ohio in order to move into the White House. TRENDING: OUTRAGEOUS!
