"Obama is ahead in the polls."

From Rassmussen this morning:
          Romney                49%,
          Obama                  47%
          "somebody else"    2%
          "undecided"            2%

"Both men have solidified their partisan base. Romney is supported by 89% of Republicans and Obama by 88% of Democrats. Among those not affiliated with either major party, Romney leads by 16.

The generation gap remains wide. Obama leads by double digits among those under 40. Romney leads by double digits among those over 40. "
