New National Pew Poll: Obama 47% (+2) Romney 47% (-2) likely voters

As the presidential campaign enters its final week, Barack
Obama has failed to regain much of the support he lost in the
days following the first presidential debate and the race is now
even among likely voters: 47% favor Obama while an identical
percentage supports Mitt Romney.

The latest national survey by the Pew Research Center for the
People & the Press, conducted Oct. 24-28 among 1,678
registered voters, including 1,495 likely voters, finds Obama
holding statistically insignificant two-point edge among
registered voters: 47% to 45%.
