Mitt Romney leads President Obama in the first Gallup national daily tracking poll.
Romney took 47 percent support from surveyed registered voters, while Obama took 45 in a poll conducted between April 11 and April 15. Romney's edge though is within the poll's three point margin of error.
Independents tipped the scale in favor of Romney, going for the former Massachusetts governor 45 percent to 39.

the three point margin of error goes both ways, Romney could lead by 5
Add the fact that he’s below 50, only Obama is even further below. Babe Ruth, John Lennon, Sirhan Sirhan, John F. Kennedy and the tooth fairy will all, of course, be voting for Obama.
you are doing just that by not voting against Obama...why can't you see that???
What’s this? 39% of independents like Obama? Must be masochists.
McCain isn't Reagan. Romney isn't Reagan. I get that. But I would rather have either of those two in the White House that Obama.
What some people here are calling "principle" is childish pride in not getting their way.
Well said. Hear, hear!
Yep. The minute Myth becomes the official nominee, he’ll never lead in the polls again.
yours is a statement based entirely on your misconception of what Romney actually did . When re-organizers go into a failing company, their goal is to figure out a way to save the company (Staples for example) but they are realistic and if salvation is not possible, they seek the best outcome for shareholders, employees etc. that is possible. Sometimes jobs are lost (they would have been lost anyway) but to accuse Romney of not being business literate is asinine.
I would have rather had McCain than Obama. Sarah made it so I could vote for their ticket rather than against Obama’s. I would rather Obama than Romney. We end up in the same state between the two of them and perhaps Conservatives can still be elected post Obama, they would not be able to post Romney.
Whee. Yay.
Only improvement over Obama would possibly be Romneys US Supreme Court justice appointments.
Hang me from the yardarm, but after all we’ve seen in recent years where the Republic has hung from a thread by a 5-4 decision, that’s enough motivation for me. Romney as my president couldn’t be much worse than having Harry Reid as my senator.
Bingo!!
Still waiting for the results of the next primary.

If you sit out and allow obama to win a second term you are part of the problem.

I’m glad to see most Freepers have come back to ABO reality. I’m confident you will too!
Facts don't matter.
“This is just push-polling to try to seal the deal for Romney at the GOP convention.”
LOL. The deal has already been sealed. Karl Rove told me so ;)
I agree. Obama turned out worse that I feared. Lots of reasons, such as Eric Holder, to vote for whoever runs against him.
Mittens is going to lose. The only question is whether he is complicit in this charade or just a rube. Either way, FUMR.
