The latest swing state poll released by Quinnipiac University's Polling Institute, in conjunction with the New York Times and CBS News, revealed President Barack Obama has maintained his five point lead against Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, 50 percent to 45 percent.

The poll, released on Wednesday, found that the president also leads by double-digits among women, but trails behind Romney among men. According to the results, 56 percent of women support Obama, compared to only 39 percent who support Romney. On the other hand, 50 percent of men support Romney, compared to 44 percent who support Obama.

While the Democratic incumbent leads among younger voters, 58 percent to 36 percent among 18 to 34 year olds, Romney continues to lead among seniors. The poll found that adults ages 65 and up support Romney 52 percent compared to Obama at only 43 percent.

Each party overwhelmingly supports their own candidates, the poll found. Ohio independents, however, support Romney slightly more (49 percent) than they do Obama (43 percent). The GOP candidate continues to lead among white voters, the poll found, 50 percent to 45 percent.

The swing state poll found that 49 percent of Ohio voters named the economy the most important issue of this year's campaign, followed by health care (17 percent) and Medicare (10 percent). Forty percent to 30 percent of Ohio voters said the nation's economy is improving and 52 percent to 17 percent of voters said Ohio's economy is improving.

According to the results, voters in Ohio believe that President Obama "cares about their needs and problems" 62 percent to 36 percent. On the other hand, Ohio voters reported that Romney does not care, 52 percent to 44 percent. However, voters found that Romney is a stronger leader (64 percent to 32 percent) than Obama (58 percent to 40 percent).

Among likely voters, 60 percent of those who plan to vote early or have already voted support Obama, compared to 34 percent who support Romney. The Republican candidate holds a one-point lead among Election Day voters, 48 percent to 47 percent.

With the election just days away, Romney will have to work hard in capturing voters' support in Ohio. According to the latest electoral map predictions by Latinos Post, Ohio is still a key tossup state.
