President Obama has a nice lead in the new NPR poll out today:
The poll found 51 percent of the likely voters planning on or leaning toward a vote for the president, with 44 percent voting for or leaning toward his challenger. In the battleground subsample, the numbers were 50 percent Obama and 44 percent Romney. Those numbers were slightly better for the president than his job approval rating in the poll. Nationally, the president was at 50 percent approval (46 percent disapproval), but in the battleground he was at 48 percent approval and 49 percent disapproval.
The pollsters found only 2 percent calling themselves undecided. Moreover, only 11 percent of the president's supporters and 15 percent of Romney's said they might still change their minds.
National polls have been tightening. Maybe today is the end of that trend. Obama still up strongly in the swing states.
