NBC's Ohio Poll: 45% of Likely Voters Conservative, 23% Liberal--And Obama's Up 6 | CNSNews.com: An NBC-Wall Street Journal-Marist poll of likely Ohio voters published on Nov. 3 shows that 45 percent say they are conservative, 23 percent say they are liberal and Barack Obama is leading Mitt Romney by 6 points, 51 percent to 45 percent.

The poll said that in calculating that Obama is up 51 percent to 45 percent in Ohio it included what it called "leaners." "Leaners," the polls says, "are defined as voters who are undecided yet leaning toward a candidate."

The NBC-WSJ-Marist poll of 971 likely voters, which had a margin of error of +/-3.1 points, also listed 3 percent of likely Ohio voters as "undecided" (and apparently not "leaning") and 1 percent as intending to vote for someone other than Obama or Romney for president.
