Odd. Yougov/Economist poll: Romney leads Obama by 4%

Among registered voters. This poll was conducted almost at the same time (May 12-14) as the Fox poll (RV as well) just released (May 13-15), in which Obama is up by 7%. I just don't get polls sometimes. That's a 11% difference in the margins of these two polls.
