Romney Leads Obama Nationally in New Polls
A newPPP poll
puts Mitt Romney ahead of President Obama 49% to 47%.
While this is a statistical tie, this is the first PPP poll this year showing Romney ahead.
Especially noteworthy is that Obama’s lead among women has dropped from 15 points to only 6 points.
Most of the polling was conducted Friday, at the height of Romney’s debate bounce.
A newGallup tracking poll
of likely voters also shows Romney with a 2-point lead nationally. Together with the PPP and Pew polls, now three national polls put
Romney in the lead. However, as we have pointed out before, in politics, a week is a long time. There is a
vice-presidential debate tomorrow and two more presidential debates down the road.
