Election 2012 Trial Heat: Obama vs. Romney
Among registered voters
Download complete trend

These are the results when registered voters are asked: "Suppose the presidential election were held today. If Barack Obama were the Democratic Party's candidate and Mitt Romney were the Republican Party's candidate, who would you vote for Barack Obama, the Democrat or Mitt Romney, the Republican?" Those who are undecided are further asked if they lean more toward Obama or Romney and their leanings are incorporated into the results. Each five-day rolling average is based on telephone interviews with approximately 2,200 registered voters; Margin of error is ±3 percentage points.

Looks like they got a really extreme day or two favoring Romney that pulled down the running average. Expect it could even go more towards Obama in the next day or two.
