From Politico, more proof of a Mitt Romney surge:
A new POLITICO/George Washington University Battleground Tracking Poll of 1,000 likely voters — taken from Sunday through Thursday of last week — shows Romney ahead of Obama by two points, 49 to 47 percent. That represents a three-point swing in the GOP nominee’s direction from a week ago but is still within the margin of error. Obama led 49 percent to 48 percent the week before.
Romney has not led in the poll since the beginning of May.
Across the 10 states identified by POLITICO as competitive, Romney leads 50 to 48 percent.
The polls are differing widely,but it looks clear that heading in to tonight’s debate, it’s Romney, not the president, who’s quickly gaining momentum.
