A CNN/Opinion Research poll showed Obama up three points in Ohio, raising his average in the RealClearPolitics aggregate of opinion surveys in the state to 2.4 points.
An NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist survey made public on Friday indicated that Obama holds a six-point advantage over Romney among likely voters in Ohio — 51 percent to 45 percent.
The president also leads Romney in enough of the eight or so swing states to assure himself of the 270 electoral votes needed for re-election, if polling data is confirmed by voting.
