Heading into Monday's final debate and with just over two weeks until Election Day, President Barack Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney are now tied nationally, according the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.

Obama and Romney both get 47 percent among likely voters in the latest edition of the poll, conducted entirely in the aftermath of the second presidential debate last Monday. In the last national NBC/WSJ poll, which was conducted before debate season began, the president held a narrow, three-point lead over his GOP challenger, 49 percent to 46 percent.

Put a fork in Obama if the best that the Obama lovers at NBC can come up with is a tie... Ironically at 47%.

I think it’s probably the other way. The 47% number kept appearing so frequently that Romney chose that number.

Here is good link to remind Catholics (indeed all Christians and everyone who believes in religious freedom) of what’s at stake.

Let’s hope they start casting them now if possible. My family has already voted. Let’s get people to the polls sooner rather than later. We can’t depend on just election day.

I’m too lazy to figure this out...maybe someone can answer.

Do these polls now reflect the 2nd debate? I keep hearing from Zero supporters that there is to be a bounce of sorts for The One once the 2nd debate is included in these rolling averages.

Sorry, to be more specific, is the second debate included not just this poll, but the rest of them?

I am so amused at how that 47% number just keeps appearing

47 is the new 42.

“I am so amused at how that 47% number just keeps appearing”

I hear/watch that new Obama commercial, where the Obama people cite that 47% thing. And then go ahead and scare that group of people with losing their ride on the gravy train, which is what Mitt predicted Obama would do!
