In reality, Romney is likely leading by ten points. You might as well move the undecided over to him now as anybody putting themselves in the undecided column today are not going to be voting for Obama tomorrow. Obama can only lose votes from this point on - he's not going to be winning anybody over. Romney however still has much potential to win votes.
If you set the bleating Obama-boosting MSM noise machine aside, the trends look promising. After last weekend and the warm afterglow of the DNC drops out of the polls and people digest what has transpired this week we may get an even more promising look at the situation.
I have no proof whatsoever but I think Ras is now slightly undercounting Republicans.
You’re right - the lead is probably closer to a 10% Romney lead. Between the marriage amendment and the train wreck of a Dim Governor and Party, there’s a slacking coming to Barry in North Carolina in November.
