The Quinnipiac University poll finds Ohio voters favoring the President over the Republican candidates.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - A new poll shows President Barack Obama with a slight lead among Ohio voters over both of the leading candidates for the Republican presidential nomination.

The Quinnipiac University poll finds Obama ahead of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney by 47-41 percent. It also shows Obama holding a 47-40 lead over former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum.

The poll taken last week finds Ohio voters are most concerned about the economy, unemployment, Obama's new health care law and the federal deficit.

The survey of 1,246 Ohio voters has a margin of error of 2.8 percentage points.
