Democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling returned with its national tracking poll Thursday night to show President Barack Obama leading Mitt Romney by one point.
The poll shows Obama picking up the support of 49 percent of likely voters nationwide, while Romney earns 48 percent support — a flip since PPP’s previously released tracking survey on Monday, which showed the Republican nominee edging the president by a single point.
PPP’s tracking poll was suspended this week due to Hurricane Sandy. The latest poll was conducted Oct. 30-Nov. 1 using automated interviews with 1,200 likely voters across the country. It has a margin of error of 2.8 percentage points.
The PollTracker Average currently shows Obama with a slim lead, but trending slightly upward.
