Romney trails by 5 in a state Obama won by 10. In their last poll in June, Obama led by 12 points, 48-36%.

[Phony Moderate]

36% was ridiculously low anyway.

[Eraserhead]

44%-38% among registered voters.

[J. J.]

F & M is one of the better PA polls; PA is tightening, but not to swing state level.

Worth noting that this poll was taken August 7-12th. So presumably only one night of surveys would have been conducted AFTER the Paul Ryan pick. So these numbers mostly represent where PA stood pre-Ryan.

Also, unless I'm mistaken the party ID is 50% Democrat, 37% Republican (D+13). In 2008, the year for record breaking Democratic turnout, it was 44% Democrat, 37% Republican, or D+7. So...yeah.
