Palin's favorability is 41 - 40 percent, while Biden gets a 47 - 28 percent favorability.

For 59 percent of Ohio voters, the economy is the biggest issue.

"The Obama campaign has worried for months about winning Ohio's white working-class voters, including those who had been with Sen. Hillary Clinton in the primary. Obama's ability to be competitive with that group is why he is ahead. He's only losing one in five Clinton voters and is within two points of Sen. McCain among whites without college degrees. That's a recipe for Obama success," Brown said.
