Mitt Romney leads President Barack Obama by a point in the latest national tracking poll from ABC News and the Washington Post released Tuesday.
The poll shows Romney claiming the support of 49 percent of likely voters nationally, while Obama trails with 48 percent. Obama and Romney were tied in Monday’s tracking ABC/WaPo tracking poll, but as the Post’s Jon Cohen notes, the latest survey marks “the fifth straight day that a single percentage point (or less) has separated the two candidates.”
Romney’s lead over Obama is currently less than a point in the PollTracker Average.
