Got it. Sorry!!!! My bad!
That was actually Gallup, but your point is a good one

It does. Politico just released some interesting figures today. Romney leads among Independents by some 10%, and he lead Obama by 14% among married middle class voters. Those are awful internals for the president and point to an outcome much like 2010.
I suspect that was the reason for Obama’s campaign manager, Jim Messina, telling reporters to ignore national polls. Add to that the fact the President is now having to campaign in Wisconsin, and you are looking at near disaster.
All well within the margin of error.
