Wow even the Chicago Tribune is admitting that Pres Obama is ahead in the polls

Looks like the neck and neck meme is dying:


Poll watch: Obama leads Romney in four swing states

New polls in four battleground states show President Obama holding a lead of 5 to 7 points over Republican nominee Mitt Romney, reinforcing the national surveys that indicate that the incumbent gained ground with his convention last week.

Of the four, Obama’s largest lead comes in the critical state of Ohio, where he leads Romney 50% to 43% among likely voters, according to the latest NBC/Wall St. Journal/Marist University poll. The survey also polled likely voters in Florida, where Obama led 49% to 43%, and Virginia, where he led 49% to 44%.

In a separate survey by New Hampshire’s WMUR-TV, Obama led Romney 45% to 40% in that state.

Rasmussen will try to keep it alive.

He increased Romney's lead to (+3) this morning.

When every single other poll shows just the opposite, it'll just be more obvious that Rass is bought and paid for by faux news. Too bad they don't have the capacity for shame.
