As ppp tweeted last night, Romney had a good polling day Friday and it seems to have ended there. The house of Ras shows the race now tied. Gallup's weekend poll also shows the race tied. I would guess without Friday the race would be unchanged.
The numbers are below.
Rasmussen Monday
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows Mitt Romney and President Obama each attracting support from 48% of voters nationwide. Two percent (2%) prefer some other candidate, and three percent (3%) are undecided.
Virginia only tightened
PPP's newest Virginia poll finds Barack Obama leading Mitt Romney 50-47 in the state, down from a 51-46 advantage three weeks ago. This is the closest we've found the race in Virginia the entire cycle, but Obama continues to find himself at the critical 50% mark in a state where Romney probably can't afford to lose.
Wisconsin may be tougher
PPP's newest Wisconsin poll finds a big debate bump for Mitt Romney in the state. Two weeks ago he trailed Barack Obama by 7 points there, 52-45. Now he's pulled to within two points, with Obama's lead now just 49-47.
Gallup's 3 day Tracker
Gallup typically reports voter presidential preferences in seven-day rolling averages; the latest such average as of Saturday interviewing shows Obama with an average three-point edge, 49% to 46%, among registered voters. This Sept. 30-Oct. 6 field period includes three days before the Oct. 3 debate, the night of the debate itself, and three days after the debate.
Politico/GWU
A new POLITICO/George Washington University Battleground Tracking Poll of likely voters shows Obama ahead of Mitt Romney 49 percent to 48 percent nationally, a statistical tie and a percentage point closer than a week ago.
Gallup's 7 day Tracker Obama 50 Romney 45
Obama has essentially regained the lead he had on Friday. This poll also includes Mitt Romney's one day bump.
Now we all can take a breath and get back to work reelecting the president.
