Obama Internal Polls Still Show Leads in Swing States

Obama Internal Polls Still Show Leads in Swing States

Major Garrett reports the first batch of Obama internal polls came back from key swing states today and "revealed that Obama was not in free fall, as some feared, but that his support has returned to where it was in July and August."

"Internal Obama polling data show that all swing states have tightened up and that Romney is within the margin of error in states like Ohio and Virginia and Florida. It's now a dogfight across the swing-state battlefield and any sense of pre-debate complacency that some Obama hands feared was creeping into both turnout and fundraising has vanished."

Obama to ABC News: "What's important is the fundamentals of what this race is about haven't changed."

...I wouldn't say there's nothing to worry about. No need to panic, sure, but the race is now too close for comfort.
