The Reuters/Ipsos poll of 1,131 registered voters was conducted from May 3 to May 7 and has a 3 percent margin of error.
In other words, they are tied for practical purposes.
From the article:
“A USA Today/Gallup poll released on Monday showed the two candidates locked in a statistical tie in the 12 battleground states that will play a critical role in determining the outcome of the 2012 election.”
Obama is in trouble but with his huge warchest, beating him won’t be easy. Romney needs every vote.
Actually, the article I just posted from “The Hill” is incorrect — they say the poll is of registered voters. I just went to the Ipsos site, and since it’s their poll,they should know and it says it’s a poll of ADULTS!!!!!!

‘These are findings from an Ipsos poll conducted for Reuters from May 3rd - 7th, 2012. For the survey, a nationally representative, randomly selected sample of exactly 1,131 adults aged 18 and older across the United States was interviewed by Ipsos via live telephone interviewing on landlines and cell phones. With a sample of this size, the results are considered accurate within 2.9 percentage points, 19 times out of 20, of what they would have been had the entire adult population in the U.S. been polled.”
He made need every vote but he isn’t going to get every vote and the gop/e and romney himself are to blame.
