Democrats Hold Their Advantage; No Change After Two Weeks

Barack Obama holds a four-point advantage as of Tuesday, September 25, after two weeks of hard campaigning since the party conventions.

Given Mitt Romney’s September controversies, the fact the race is still reasonably close is a sign his base is staying with him and a polarized electorate – but, it’s a very big hole to get out of in a very short time.

Presidential campaigns generally have difficulty shifting the direction six weeks out.  And, early voting begins this week in a few states and in many others within two weeks.
