President Obama's alleged post-convention boost has been wiped away, and it now appears Mitt Romney has gained a slight edge.
A new daily tracking poll released Thursday shows support for the Republican candidate at 47 percent, while 46 percent favor Barack Obama.
These tight presidential races are the new normal. Because of where the United States is demographically, every election is determined by just a few points. Of course, the exception was 2008, when independents were so irate about George W. Bush, they would have backed any Democrat.
According to the survey revealed Thursday, there are also about five percent of Americans still undecided, as well as others who like someone other than Obama or Romney.
You can't believe the liberal mainstream journalists, who are claiming Obama has this one in the bag. Some political experts, in fact, are predicting a Romney landslide, because there is so much more enthusiasm on the GOP side. There are so many polls out there, it's tough to know what to believe.
As the campaign enters its final stretch, the numbers will fluctuate slightly, but the race will probably remain very tight. Like most contemporary elections, you might not know the winner until the morning after Election Day.

Kane, you should write for the Onion.
If the world is wrong you better right yourself.
Isn't that the truth?
Don't hesitate! Call tomorrow first hour your broker, get a maximum credit, buy yourself contracts to March 2013 or better even April 2013 as the closing of all foreign currencies will be balanced on March 29, 2013.
You'll make a fortune (as Mitt, BTW) but not as MUCH as Mitt!
To be frank I am not taking the bet, but I prefer to gamble according to reality.
Please, please name these alleged "experts"! LMAO!
"There are so many polls out there, it's tough to know what to believe."
So go with the one poll that puts Romney 1 point ahead? That doesn't seem very sensible. I know some people like Rasmussen because they did very well predicting the winners (and margins) in the presidential races in both 2004 and 2008, but if you look at the rest of their track record, it doesn't look so good. For example, for the 2010 elections, Rasmussen overestimated margins by Republican winners in over half its polls in the three weeks before the election. Inaccurate and biased.
