NEW PROJECTION: ROMNEY 52, OBAMA 47

5:00 AM, Oct 29, 2012 • By FRED BARNES

The bipartisan Battleground Poll, in its “vote election model,” is projecting that Mitt Romney will defeat President Obama 52 percent to 47 percent. The poll also found that Romney has an even greater advantage among middle class voters, 52 percent to 45 percent.

While Obama can close the gap with a strong voter turnout effort, “reports from the field would indicate that not to be the case, and Mitt Romney may well be heading to a decisive victory,” says pollster Ed Goeas.

BATTLEGROUND POLL: OBAMA RECLAIMS LEAD

Published: Oct. 29, 2012 at 8:14 AM

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29 (UPI) -- U.S. President Obama, with support among women and an edge in early voters, had a slim lead over Mitt Romney, Politico's Battleground Tracking Poll indicated.

Among likely voters, Obama led his Republican rival by a percentage point, 49 percent to 48 percent, a 3 percentage point swing in Obama's favor from a week ago, but a reflection that the race remains statistically a dead heat, results from the Politico-George Washington University Battleground Tracking Poll released Monday indicated.
