Poll: Romney, Obama Running Neck and Neck Among Likely Voters

Poll: Romney, Obama running neck and neck among likely voters - The Hill's Ballot Box

President Barack Obama and GOP Presidential candidate Mitt Romney

A new poll earlier this week found President Barack Obama and GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney neck-and-neck among likely voters after the party conventions and less than two months before election day.  A new Washington Post/ABC News poll shows Obama with 49% of the vote compared to Romney's 48% among likely voters, a two-point boost for Obama and a 1-point bump for Romney since the same poll last month.  The poll comes amid a slew of surveys showing Obama with a post-convention bounce of 5 points in Gallup's and Rasmussen's polls and a 6-point edge in a CNN/ORC survey. 

Even though Obama and Romney are in a dead heat among likely votes in the Post/ABC survey, the poll finds the president six points ahead of Romney among registered voters surveyed at 50-44 percent, which is his best showing since early April.  Before the convention, the poll found Romney with a 47-46 edge over Obama among those voters registered.
