In head-to-head matchups, Romney leads Obama among registered voters in swing states by a single percentage point
The swing states just aren't swinging President Obama's way.
Republican presidential hopefuls Mitt Romney, Rick Perry and Herman Cain are either winning or are neck to neck with Obama in the states deemed the most critical to winning the 2012 presidential election, a USA Today/Gallup poll released Friday found.
In head-to-head matchups, Romney leads Obama among registered voters in swing states by a single percentage point, 47% to 46%.
But the commander in chief is ahead against Perry in those states by a five point margin, 49% to 44%.
And against Cain, Obama narrowly win by three points, 48% to 45%.
Both Cain and Romney fall within the polls 3% error margin.
The swing states, which Obama won in 2008, include Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin.
The poll also reveals deep voter dissatisfaction among swing states voters.
A sizable 60% said they were worse off than they were three years ago compared the 37% who said they were better off.

A ham sandwich can beat Obama.
Two out of three "ain't" bad!
It doesn't matter who the Republicans nominate. It could be Chumlee from "Pawn Stars".
after perry crapped all over himself,
now he’s a front runner?
Exactly. At this point prior to the head to head campaign, the sitting President should be mopping the floor against ANY proposed opponent.
I agree with his statement. Thanks for the post.
No more ineligibles. No more RINOs.
I have serious concerns about Perry as a candidate, but he has the right platform and is an experienced executive in a state doing well. Although right now, he is in the doldrums, he can still recover, especially if he can make a recovery with Iowa voters. He’s far more conservative than Mitt, so it is an easy choice if it is between those two, as long as he is getting some good training on campaigning and debating.
Yeah, Perry’s between 6% - 9% in polls but could beat Obama, go figure! LOL
That makes sense. At some point Cain will take supporters from Romney. Some Romney supporters recognize a winner when they see one.

I find it hard to believe that Obama is polling this well in swing states. It is much better than I expected with poll numbers as low as his. Why does Obama poll better than his approval numbers?
How dare you question the finest polls money can buy?
The polls are of registered voters, not likely voters. The former stat usually skews toward the leftists.
