Reuters/Ipsos poll: Obama 46, Romney 45

<...>

A Reuters/Ipsos daily online tracking poll on Sunday showed Obama leading Romney by 1 percentage point, 46 to 45, down from a 3-point Romney lead last Thursday - a possible sign that the Republican's surge after the first debate could be running out of steam.

Can't wait to hear the rethugs start dissing polling next. Then we'll really know their goose is cooked

Instead, Reuters buries the poll in the 16th paragraph of a story with the title:

"In second debate, Obama faces challenges on key issues"

Confirmation of the MSM desire to frame this in a way to keep people glued to the tvs. If I wasn't so addicted to all of this s**t I would completely tune out.
