I think it comes down to the debates. If Romney is holding his own in the first two debates, polls will show him with a nice lead. If Romney destroys Obama in anyone of the debates, it will be a Romney landslide. All he has to do to win is hold his on and not make any serious mistakes in the debates, and he wins.

You seem to assume the media will not declare Obama the winner regardless the actual debate performance.

Some people will be depressed and declare it over for Romney.

My experince since 1980 it that few people are swayed by a debate, as most of the viewers are political junkies.
