People can complain about polling this early and say we have a long way to go, which is fair enough, but a small but steady lead over this amount of time is worth noting. What it mainly tells us is that Obama is stuck in the mid-forties, which is disastrous for an incumbent. The known quantity can't budge his numbers and unless the flailing Obama campaign can toxify Romney into something unelectable between now and November, Obama is going to lose.
Another reliable pollster, Gallup, is still using a registered voter screen, but has also showed Romney with a slight lead for a number of days until the two men tied things up yesterday.
While we political junkies live and breathe every twist and turn of the political daily grind, everyday American are too busy living their lives to pay attention right now. This is why there hasn't been much volatility in the polls, but there has been a trend.
The graph just below the Real Clear Politics poll of polls shows that since March 5, Obama's numbers against Mitt Romney have been on a noticeably downward trend, while Romney's numbers have -- through fits and starts -- trended up. This poll of polls shows Obama in the lead by less than a percentage point, again, an awful place for an incumbent to be at this point in the race.... More at the link....
