DAYTON, Ohio -- See-Saw In Ohio -- Teeter-Totter Tips To Obama 21 Days Till Votes Are Counted: In an election for President of the United States in Ohio Tuesday, 10/14/08, Barack Obama captures Ohio's 20 electoral votes, according to WHIO-TV/SurveyUSA's latest poll.

Interactive tracking graphs, a WHIO-TV/SurveyUSA exclusive, trace a teeter-totter that tipped in John McCain's favor when WHIO-TV/SurveyUSA first polled Ohio mid-September, achieved equilibrium at the end of September, and now tips to Obama mid-October. The numbers: Obama 50%, McCain 45%. A month ago, McCain led, on the strength of a 16-point advantage among white voters. 14 of those 16 points have disappeared, and McCain now leads among whites by 2, effectively even with Obama.

There is important movement in Columbus, where Obama now leads, among wealthier Ohio voters, where Obama has erased McCain's advantage, among voters focused on the economy, where Obama has doubled his advantage, and among the less-well educated, where McCain now needs help. Among regular church goers, a group McCain must carry decisively, his 19-point advantage is now 7. Among Moderates, McCain had trailed by 9, now by 23. Among voters older than Obama but younger than McCain, another tipping point. Look at the interactive tracking graph, here.

2. Do you think that Obama's door knocking had anything to do with it?

I saw the pictures and the local news video and was just blown away, and I live in NC!

I'd love to see him make a few more surprise appearances.
