The data shows that Bush won Ohio by 51-49% and the Country by 51-48%; hardly a narrow margin

Poll finds Ohioans still split on Bush
Howard Wilkinson, Enquirer Original Article

Ohioans are nearly as evenly split now on whether President Bush is doing a good job as they were during last fall's presidential campaign. According to the University of Cincinnati's Ohio Poll, Bush has an approval rating of 49 percent among Ohio voters. In the 2004 presidential election, Bush won Ohio's electoral votes - and, with them, the White House, by a narrow margin of about 118,000 votes out of 5.5 million cast.
