Obama at 49 percent, Romney 46 percent nine days before election: Reuters/Ipsos poll

WASHINGTON | Sun Oct 28, 2012 12:56pm EDT

(Reuters) - President Barack Obama has extended his narrow lead over Republican challenger Mitt Romney among likely voters in a race that remains statistically tied nine days before the election, according to a Reuters/Ipsos tracking poll released on Sunday.

Obama has a 49 percent to 46 percent edge over Romney, marking a 1 point increase from Saturday but still within the daily online survey's 4 percentage-point credibility interval for likely voters.

1. Like the trend.

cheers!

2. I'm telling you, RR supporters are not excited AT ALL

They will vote for him reluctantly, but Obama-Biden supporters are motivated. That's why we're seeing unusually high turn-out and movement in polls in the president's direction. It's been there all along.

GOTV. Let's win this thing!

3. Thank you.

I am hoping the President wins the popular vote as well as the electorial college. It will be better for him. He can claim he has an agenda.

4. WTF is a "credibility interval??????"

They're messing with the language again.

That kind of wording means anything that happens within that margin is possible.

Don't much like it.
