Close fight! Obama at 49%, Romney 46% just 9 days before election: Reuters/Ipsos poll

My comments:

It seems the social media and even lots of the more liberal-leaning traditional media in the United States seem to be favoring incumbent U.S. President Barack Obama. However, I believe the still underdog but dogged challenger ex-Governor Mitt Romney is surging and has a fighting chance to pull off a possible upset victory?

This is one of the most exciting presidential elections I have ever!

I'm betting a hundred pizzas that former successful businessman Mitt Romney will win! Wanna bet?

Below is the latest opinion poll in USA indicating it's still too close to call:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama has extended his narrow lead over Republican challenger Mitt Romney among likely voters in a race that remains statistically tied nine days before the election, according to a Reuters/Ipsos tracking poll released on Sunday.

Obama has a 49 percent to 46 percent edge over Romney, marking a 1 point increase from Saturday but still within the daily online survey's 4 percentage-point credibility interval for likely voters.

Swings could be possible in the remaining days of the campaign, however. Fifteen percent of registered voters say they could still change their minds and vote for a different candidate.

The precision of Reuters/Ipsos online polls is measured using a credibility interval. In this case, the poll has a credibility interval of plus or minus 4.0 percentage points for likely voters.
