Most October-2012 Polls Show a Close Tie between Obama and Romney Except Gallup Showing Big Romney Lead ... Strange
President Obama and GOP challenger Mitt Romney are tied with only a week left before election day, according to the latest Washington Post /ABC News daily tracking poll. The new poll finds each candidate receiving support from 49 percent of likely voters. That represents a 1-point bump for the president, who trailed Romney 49-48 in Sunday’s numbers. Romney also has the edge among independent voters who back him 53 to 43 for the president. http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/polls/264743-poll-romney-obama-locked-in-49-49-tie ELECTION 2012 TRACKING JavaScript required to view full data.
