NewsmaxZogby National Tracking: Obama Leads by 2 Points

The NewsmaxZogby Tracking Poll released Friday has President Barack Obama taking the lead over GOP candidate Mitt Romney by 2 points — 48 percent to 46 percent.

Pollster John Zogby: “Obama was down 3 points just three days ago, and we have seen a 5-point shift since then. All of this has taken place since the storm. He has been off the campaign trail winning praise for leadership from both parties, while Romney is just now getting back to attack mode.

"As I have noted, this race has been notable for its lack of any sustained momentum by either candidate. The race for independents is close and Romney has only a 3-point advantage. Obama has slightly raised his re-elect to 44 percent, but that is still weak.”
