Obama, Romney in dead heat, polls suggest

President Obama and Mitt Romney are locked in a virtual dead heat nationally and in swing states, according to the latest round of polling.

A new NPR survey shows the president leading his Republican challenger, 47 percent to 45 percent, but the 2-point margin is within the poll’s margin of error. The NPR poll also shows a tie, 46-46, in battleground states.

It is absolutely amazing that pollsters can find voters who claim they will give Obama their vote! Don't they read, discuss, or comprehend why this country is in crisis due to the lack of leadership for the past four years?
