RCP - Romney "Lead" Evaporates

Three new polls hit the average today, all showing an Obama lead:

ABC News/Wash Post: 46/49 (Obama +3)
IBD/TIPP Tracking: 46/47 (Obama +1)
Politico/GWU/Battleground: 48/49 (Obama +1)

Also, Ras dropped their 2% Romney lead by half:

Rasmussen Tracking : 49/48 (Romney +1)

The RCP Average now sits at a tie, both at 47.3%. If Gallup follows this trend, tomorrow should show a slight Obama lead in the national polls, and a return to business as usual - with one exception.

Every single Dem that took this election for granted just had to change their underwear. The possibility of a Romney presidency was too close for comfort.
There will be NO enthusiasm advantage for Red States this year. Bet on it.

They used to have discussion boards around 10 years ago. They were so infested with freeper types, I stopped visiting them. I don't even bother reading the comments there. Nothing but sock puppets posting really vile shit.
