Details: http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/10/01/battle-for-presidency-remains-close-in-new-cnn-poll/?hpt=hp_t1
Last month (right after DNC) it was Obama 52/Romney 46
Methodology:
The CNN Poll was conducted by ORC International Sept. 28-30, with 1,013 adult Americans, including 883 registered voters and 783 likely voters, questioned by telephone. The survey's overall sampling error is plus or minus three percentage points, with a sampling error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points for questions only of likely voters.
I've always thought the race was closer than the 6, 7, 8+ numbers... I'd still much rather be in Obama's shoes that Romney's right now.
