CNN:

A new national survey indicates President Barack Obama has opened up a double digit lead over Republican challenger Mitt Romney in the race for the White House, an advantage for Obama that no other major poll released this month has found.

According to a Bloomberg National Poll released Wednesday, 53% of people likely to vote in the November presidential election say they support the president, with 40% saying they back Romney, the former Massachusetts governor and presumptive GOP nominee.

I will not be surprised if in the end it turns out that the presidential race never close at any one time. The corporate media has, after all, the most to gain from a race that looks nail-bitingly close.
