Now the actual title - "GOP pollster: Romney up in Ohio, closing the gap in Wisconsin"
from the Hill piece-
"Partisan polls should be viewed with some skepticism, and both polls put Romney in a better position than most publicly available data has shown. Obama has a small but steady lead in most Ohio polls, and a slightly wider lead in Wisconsin.
The polls also show Senate GOP candidates in better shape in the two states than recent public polling has suggested.
Ohio state Treasurer Josh Mandel (R) leads Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) by 50 to 45 percent in the poll, and former Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson (R) edges Rep. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) by 47 to 45 percent.
Recent public polling has shown Brown with a comfortable lead and Baldwin holding a narrow lead over Thompson."
