President Obama holds a two percentage point lead over Republican Mitt Romney in the Ohio Poll released Wednesday afternoon by the University of Cincinnati's Institute for Policy Research.

That is well within the poll's margin of error of plus or minus 2.9 percent, meaning the race in Ohio is extremely close and the end result is a toss-up.

The poll had Obama with 48 percent support to 46 percent for Romney.

A Quinnipiac University poll released this morning showed President Obama with a five percentage point lead over Mitt Romney in Ohio - unchanged from the polling institute's last Ohio poll on Oct. 22.

The same poll looked at two other key battleground states - Florida and Virginia - and concluded that they were too close to call.

In the poll, Obama had 50 percent to Romney's 45 percent in Ohio.
