◼ New WaPo-ABC Tracking Poll: Romney 49, Obama 48 - Jon Cohen/Washington Post
Overall, the national tracking poll remains steady from Friday’s release, with 49 percent of likely voters backing Romney, and 48 percent supporting Obama. Romney also maintains his significant, seven-percentage-point advantage on handling the economy.
One big shift over the course of the campaign is the makeup of Romney’s support. In July, most voters who backed the Republican said they were motivated more by opposition to Obama than really being “for Romney.” After the party conventions, Romney’s supporters were evenly split on this question. But now, a clear majority are positively voting for Romney, not merely against the president.
