There’s good and bad news for Mitt Romney in the new national Politico Battleground poll out this morning. On the upside, a plurality of Republican respondents expect Romney to be their nominee.

On the downside, President Obama is leading Romney by six points. When asked to compare Obama to a “generic Republican,” the race is tied. That suggests Obama’s strategy of tearing down Romney early is getting results.
