Obama Gets Post-Convention Bounce Over Romney in Polls
This article is for subscribers only.
President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney remained in a virtual tie among likely voters in an ABC News/Washington Post poll, though the incumbent opened up a six-point lead among registered voters following the Democratic and Republican nominating conventions.
The poll gave Obama 49 percent and Romney 48 percent among likely voters, showing little movement from a survey taken before the party gatherings, which had Romney ahead by two points. Both of those results were within the margins of error for the surveys.
