Race Stable in Four Key Swing States

A new Purple Strategies poll in four battleground states — Ohio, Florida, Colorado and Virginia — finds a stable presidential race with President Obama leading Mitt Romney by two points, 47% to 45%, the same lead as in June.

“The race is also steady among independents across these states. Romney retains a 5-point lead among this key swing constituency (47% to 42%), essentially unchanged from his 6-point lead in June.”
