In the 11 swing states, Mitt Romney earns 50% of the vote to Obamas 46%. Two percent (2%) like another candidate in the race, and another two percent (2%) are undecided.
This is now the fourth day in a row - and the sixth time in the past seven days - that Romney has hit the 50% mark in the combined swing states.
