Despite all Mitt Romney's self-inflicted pains, it's still too early to be able to wheel out an obituary article author. With more than six weeks to search, the election is too far out as well as the race is too close. Romney still did not get much of a bounce on the Republican convention but President Barack Obama has seen their own rise subside. The Democrat has a slight lead of about two or three points in national polling, down from about five or six within the week after the Democratic Meeting. Obama is not pulling away whilst his opponent is being distracted by their own missteps. The Democrats clearly have the better campaign candidate and election team nevertheless the very difficult economic conditions in the usa are keeping the race tighter than it probably needs to be. Then again, were the election less centered on the economy and domestic politics as well as the Republican candidate less of some sort of foreign policy lightweight, Obama would be vulnerable to be able to questions on what's happening in the world right now. The Afghanistan troop training mission - upon which the West's exit strategy depends - is in a mess with patrols right now restricted. And why was america caught out so badly on the anniversary of September 11 when security really should have been at its highest? Ambassador Chris Stevens, unfortunately, should not have been away from his secure Libyan embassy with Tripoli on that date. Benghazi had not been safe. In June, militants fired a rocket-propelled grenade at the car carrying the British ambassador within the city and an explosive device was thrown on the US consulate there. Obama has two job reports and three debates to get through before election day. Ladies vice-presidential debate. A lot might still happen. The bright spot for your President is poll data within the key swing states. His figures went up in Ohio, Va, Michigan and Wisconsin after his convention and have been stable. Pennsylvania, where they have a lead of about seven points, can hardly be named in play. He also offers his nose ahead in California. Obama will win if he'll maintain that. Romney has consolidated his advantage in Nc and Missouri without threatening some sort of breakthrough elsewhere. As always, these are an important polls to watch. Another major unknown is turnout. Polls are showing a huge gap between the casual support of registered voters and the motivated to vote. Obama can lead comfortably with the former and narrowly with the latter.
