Polls show tight Obama-Romney race just getting closer - The Hill's Blog Briefing Room

Polls show the already tight presidential race is getting even closer just a week before Election Day.
A handful of polls released Tuesday show President Obama and Republican Mitt Romney either tied or within 1 percentage point of each other. None of the polls show either candidate hitting the 50 percent mark.
A survey from Pew Research showed the candidates locked at 47 percent, a Washington Post poll showed them tied at 49 percent, and a survey from NPR shows Romney ahead of Obama by 49 to 48 percent.
