In the 11 swing states, the president and Mitt Romney are tied with 46% support each. Four percent (4%) prefer some other candidate, and three percent (3%) are undecided.
The candidates have been tied or in a near tie every day but one for the past three weeks.
In 2008, Obama won these states by a combined margin of 53% to 46%, virtually identical to his national margin.
When “leaners” are factored in, Romney leads the president 48% to 47%. Leaners are those who are initially uncommitted to the two leading candidates but lean towards one of them when asked a follow-up question.
Nationally, the race remains a toss-up in the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll.
