WASHINGTON, Oct. 11 (UPI) -- Republican rival Mitt Romney picked up 3 points to lead U.S. President Obama 49 percent to 46 percent, a United Press International poll indicated Thursday.

Romney's lead, which was within the poll's 4.5 percentage-point margin of error, was based on a national survey taken by UPI-CVoter pollsters in the days following the first presidential debate.

It is the first time Romney has had the lead since the UPI poll began this election cycle.

While Romney's lead is 3 percentage points among likely voters, his net gain since the seven days immediately before the debate is 5 percentage points, UPI said. During a poll taken a Sept. 27-Oct 3, 48 percent of likely voters said they would vote for Obama and 46 percent said they would back Romney.

"Greg McNeilly ‏@gregmcneilly WILX TV 10 (Lansing) just reported that Obama's re-elect effort has pulled out of MI (closed its HQ and moved away)." Sounds like sophistry.

“I’m sure there will be things we will be disappointed in if Romney is President. But I have a feeling that on the efficiency, management, business and even foreign policy side of the government, we’ll be pleasantly surprise”

I couldn’t agree more!

Not necessarily good news as far as MI is concerned - could be they feel they have that state in the bag and are going to move their resources elsewhere...however it could be good news for another state where they apparently have gotten reason to be more spooked that they are going to lose it to move these resources to.
