Presidential Polls Show Obama Leads Romney In Wisconsin, Virginia, Closer Race In Colorado
Source: Huffington Post
WASHINGTON -- New surveys in key battleground states released Wednesday continue to confirm what national polls have shown over the past 10 days. President Barack Obama got a modest boost to his standing against Republican nominee Mitt Romney from the party conventions, bolstered by modest gains on the economy and a big perceived advantage over Romney as someone who cares more about the needs of ordinary people.
The latest polls released by CBS News and The New York Times and conducted by the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute give Obama narrow leads in Virginia and Wisconsin and show a nearly even race in Colorado. The surveys were conducted over six days, September 11 to 17, through calls to randomly selected landline and mobile phones beginning five days after the conclusion of the Democratic National Convention.
In Virginia, the new CBS/Times/Quinnipiac poll shows Obama leading by five percentage points (51 to 46 percent), a lead that is just slightly narrower than the 53 to 46 percent margin by which he carried the state four years ago. Two more polls conducted over the same period by the Washington Post and the Democratic Party affiliated firm Public Policy Polling (PPP) also showed Obama leading in Virginia, although the Post poll gave him a slightly bigger margin (52 to 44 percent) than PPP (51 to 45 percent).
