A new poll confirms that the race between President Barack Obama and presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney is shaping up to be a tight one.
The poll, conducted by John Zogby on behalf of The Washington Times, shows Romney and Obama in a statistical dead heat: 43.6 percent to 43.2 percent, respectively. Zogby, who polled likely voters nationwide May 11-12, said the survey reflects what appears to be an extremely competitive contest.
“It’s tied. That’s pretty much where we are. The poll reveals what everybody feels,” Zogby told The Washington Times.
The TPM Poll Average paints a similar picture of the race, with Obama currently edging Romney by a razor-thin margin.
