US presidential poll: Race for President is tightening

Ohio – With exactly one month to go until the U.S. presidential election, polls show the race between President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney essentially tied.


The Pew Research Center gives Romney a four percentage point lead while Gallup puts the president in front by three points.


Romney closed the gap in the polls after last week’s first presidential debate which focused on the economy. Analysts say Romney appeared more comfortable and prepared while the president gave an uncharacteristically lethargic performance.


Both candidates campaigned Tuesday in Ohio and Iowa
