Here are some numbers from "First Read" (Chuck Todd, Mark Murray, Brooke Brower) this morning that I haven't seen before. I've seen the NBC/WSJ/Marist poll with Obama 48% Romney 47%, but I haven't seen this punchline until just now:

Link: * Undecided vote breaking in Obama’s direction? (about 2/3 down page)



Here’s one last point we want to make about our national poll: The survey found that 9% of the likely voters are up for grabs (meaning they’re undecided or just leaning to a candidate), and these folks have more positive feelings toward Obama than Romney. Obama’s job approval with them is 48% approve, 41% disapprove. What’s more, Obama’s fav/unfav with them is 46%/29%, vs. Romney’s upside down 22%-49%. Bottom line: Our pollsters see more of an opportunity for Obama among these voters and more of an uphill climb for Romney.

How does Romney get past those numbers?
