Obama's lead over Romney grows in new poll

A week ago, President Obama held a 3% lead over Mitt Romney in the Yougov poll. This week, the lead has grown to 7%, as reported here.

Interestingly, the article editor somehow thought that the most appropriate and exciting title for this story is, "Obama approval unchanged."

I think the author of that article was attempting to make that photo look like the President was oogling her.

Although she is very "oogle worthy".
