Every Poll has Obama Ahead Yesterday (6/29) and Today (6/30)

Real Clear Politics is the best web-site to gage opinion on the Presidential Horse Race.

Usually, some polls will move in different directions and have different leaders than others.

The RCP average has had Obama ahead nearly every single day since Romney clinched the nomination

Today, for the first time since Romney has clinched the nomination, every poll in the RCP average has President Obama ahead. Some by just a point, and others by as many as 13.

They include Republican leaning Rasmussen and Fox News.

This unanimity may not last more than a day. But at least we can enjoy it until we win the final poll that counts, on election day.

This is going to be a tough race for the President.

There's plenty of money to run negative ads against him, due to the "Citizens United" decision.

However, it's nice to have a lead and being ahead is way better than being behind, anytime.
