Highlights:

•Obama and Romney are tied 47 to 47
•With leaners Romney leans 48 to 47.2
•Among non-early voters, Romney leads 48 to 45
•Among early voters, Obama leads 54 to 41
•Early voters made up 20% of the survey
•Obama’s favorable/Unfavorable is 50/46 — that’s low for him
•Romney’s favorable/Unfavorable is 50/46 — tied with the President which is huge
•Does Barack Obama deserve to be re-elected?: 48 to 48
•Obama job approval at 50/47 — good result
•Obama leads by 1 on who can best fix the economy, 45 to 44 — good for Obama
•Obama leads by 7 on foreign policy, 49 to 42 — a steep drop since the Libya attacks
•Obama leads by 3 on immigration, 43 to 40 — surprisingly even
•Obama has run a more negative campaign by a margin of 44 to 41
