WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama, picking up support following the Democratic National Convention, widened his narrow lead over Republican U.S. presidential challenger Mitt Romney in a new Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Saturday.
The latest daily tracking poll showed Obama, a Democrat, with a lead of 4 percentage points over Romney. Forty-seven percent of 1,457 likely voters surveyed online over the previous four days said they would vote for Obama if the November 6 elections were held today, compared with 43 percent for Romney.
"The bump is actually happening. I know there was some debate whether it would happen... but it's here," said Ipsos pollster Julia Clark, referring to the "bounce" in support that many presidential candidates enjoy after nominating conventions.
Obama had leapfrogged Romney in the daily tracking poll on Friday with a lead of 46 percent to 44 percent.

Not falling for it, just seeing the end result of GOP-E’s getting their way again.
I have noticed if a poll says Hussein is ahead, Freppers say the poll is bogus. If Romney is ahead, Freepers say the poll is an honest one.
Who knows if polls are right or not.
You should have asked her how many pieces of silver her social security check can buy.
His other poll is in complete conflict with that robo call poll.
All these polls are pure crap.
The real internal polls would be nice to see .
How many more ways can they throw the BS at us?
We may not have seen anything yet. The only limit is their collective imagination.
Correcto!
This is a newly formed congressional district that was once a Republican stronghold, but now includes a gerrymandered Democratic region.
We cannot rest on our laurels. Get out the vote.
By 2 points with a + /- 3 percent margin of error
so it would be tie wouldnt it?
BS
good post!
I think the debates will either save us or sink us... and I so wish Romney would turn into a Newt for these debates. Obama lies like a pro... Too many don’t have any more sense than to believe what comes out of obama’s mouth.
I would like to ask Fox why do they play what the dems say when they know it isn’t true.. they are propagating the lie also. They could at least add a disclaimer.
Wow...if this is what they have to resort to now just to put Obozo ahead, the white house internals must be devastating....
However, that won't stop me from going out as soon as the voting booth is open on election day to vote the b@st@rd and his idiot veep out.
I have no way of finding out what the real poll says. I do, however, believe that Romney must be doing a LOT better than any poll shows. Every poll I have seen has a 3% to 5% difference. The polls cannot be that way all the time.
Surveyed “online”?
ONLINE????
Yes, it’s precisely that sort of “science” that Stalin used to prove the proles loved him.
In the vernacular, it’s known as “bull sh*t.”
Exactly. They are getting desperate.
Obama Voters need to vote Wednesday Nov 7
Yes, there a many dumb, stupid , imbecilic Americans who would vote themselves into servitude for a promise of bread.
Consider the following; Democrats have fared badly since 2010.
Scott walker demolished the biggest pro-socilaist movements in Wisconsin despite the polls showing his defeat.
Akin has jumped ahead in Mo. once again.
is this election different from 2010 when the democrats were slaughtered?
RAT’s have continued with their Goebbel’s style of polling and campaigning on behalf of their dictator. Welcome to the Left’s propaganda warfare.
I am not buying into their mind games or their bogus polls. Talk to anyone who just walked out of the movie 2016 and ask their opinion of the Dictator in Chief. Between now and November, there are numerous movies, books, and exposes coming out about the Liberal’s God. IMO, by late October, only the bottom feeders, mindless, and modern day Jim Jones Kool Aid drinkers will be supporting him and his goons.
Another thing I’ve noticed: the rampant viral growth of these “fact-checker” websites.
The overwhelming majority of them lean incredibly Leftist. The Obama Truth Squad is out in force!
This would be true of any poll, wouldn't it?
