New WaPo-ABC Tracking Poll: Romney 49, Obama 48
By Jon Cohen The Fix October 28, 2012
Republican voters are overwhelmingly, and strongly opposed to the way President Obama is doing his job, but their support for his challenger, Mitt Romney, is now more affirmatively for him than it is against the president, according to the latest release from the Washington Post-ABC News tracking poll.

Overall, the national tracking poll remains steady from Friday’s release, with 49 percent of likely voters backing Romney, and 48 percent supporting Obama. Romney also maintains his significant, seven-percentage-point advantage on handling the economy.

One big shift over the course of the campaign is the makeup of Romney’s support.

which is why Nate Silver won such a big reputation in that election.

This current race hasn't been that close since mid-September.
