Poll: Obama loses advantage as economic anxieties increase
"With Election Day less than five months away, the new poll shows that Romney has exploited concerns about the economy and moved into a virtually even position with the president.
"In the new poll, 47 per cent say they will vote for the president and 44 per cent for Romney, a difference that is not statistically significant.
"About half — 49 per cent — approve of how Obama is handling his job as president, dropping him below the 50 per cent mark he was above in May. Disapproval of Obama is highest — 55 per cent — for his handling of the economy."
