Keep up the fight Laz!
The other great thing about this WAPO poll release this morning is this blurb:
“Historically, candidates often get an immediate post-convention boost, with some of the shift dissipating quickly. Obama has a six-point edge among all voters based on interviews Friday, the day after the Democratic convention wrapped up. In interviews Saturday and Sunday, the two were about evenly matched among registered voters.”
If they were evenly matched among registered voters, then Romney leads among likely voters.
Here is the other thing - how are these polling outfits defining a likely voter? I submit that many who voted in 2008 are not likely to vote in 2012, and thus should not be counted as a “likely voter” simply because they voted in 2008.
