Obama narrowly leads Romney in three battleground states: New Hampshire, Nevada and North Carolina

President Obama's biggest weakness is still the economy, according to a new poll released Thursday evening that shows Obama still in the lead nationally but voters undecided on the issue that concerns them the most.

President Obama just slightly leads Mitt Romney in Virginia, according to a new poll.

Suffolk University and local NBC affiliate WWBT-Richmond (NBC12) released a new poll Thursday that found Obama leading Romney among Virginia voters, 46 percent to 44 percent. Seven percent of those surveyed said they were undecided.

A new poll shows President Obama expanding his lead over Republican Mitt Romney in Iowa, a continuation of a trend seen in a number of recent polls that seems to indicate he's pulling ahead in the state.

An internal poll released by Democrat Richard Carmona's campaign gives Rep. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) a 1-percentage-point lead, essentially a statistical tie.

A new poll shows Sens. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) and Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) maintaining healthy leads in their bids for reelection, an encouraging sign from Democrats who had worried the pair of swing-state lawmakers could be tested this fall.

Brown leads Republican challenger Josh Mandel 50-40 percent in a poll released Wednesday by the New York Times. That comes on the heels of a Washington Post poll released earlier this week that gave Brown a 12 point lead, a sign that the incumbent senator may be pulling away. According to Real Clear Politics, Mandel has managed no better than a tie in any of the polls for Ohio, and Brown looks to have rebounded from a swoon during the Republican National Convention in late August that saw his challenger pull to within the margin of error.

In Florida, a new poll from the Times gives Nelson a 14-point advantage over Rep. Connie Mack (R-Fla.). Nelson's 53-39 percent advantage mirrored his standing in recent polls from the Post and Fox News.

A new Quinnipiac/CBS/NYT poll shows Obama up 10 in Ohio, 9 in Florida and a solid 12 points in Pennsylvania.

President Obama has opened a significant lead in Ohio and holds a narrow advantage in Florida, according to new polls released Tuesday, more good news for the incumbent president in swing states key to challenger Mitt Romney's efforts.

Obama holds a 52-44 percent lead in Ohio, a commanding eight-point edge among likely voters in the poll released Tuesday by The Washington Post. No Republican has ever won the White House without taking the Buckeye State, and the state is considered similarly crucial to Romney's prospects in November.

The president also holds a 51-47 percent advantage in Florida — within the survey's margin of error, but still a troubling number for the Romney campaign. As with Ohio, it will be extremely difficult for Romney to prevail without carrying the Sunshine State.

The Democratic PPP poll found voters also disapproved of Romney's "47 percent" remarks by 50 to 44 percent.

President Obama has a big lead over Mitt Romney in the key battleground state of Pennsylvania, according to a survey released Friday from conservative polling outlet Rasmussen.
