Polls Apart
The new New York Times/CBS poll shows President Obama holding a slight lead – 49% to 46%. Remember what Chuck Todd said on Hardball last night — 49% is the magic number for the president. If he’s at 47% in the polls, he probably loses; if he’s at 48%, it’s a coin-flip; but if he’s at 49%, he finds what he needs to go over the top on Election Day.
And there’s nothing but good news for President Obama in a bevy of newly released state polls — including our NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist polls from Florida, Ohio and Virginia. The president also has a healthy lead in Colorado.
Former Romney rival Jon Huntsmann – who later endorsed him for president – says Mitt has a problem because he can’t clearly state what he’d do with his foreign policy.
