That's a 1 point lead. And the next update of their tracking poll won't be until tonight.

I suspect whoever tweeted this screwed up the headline/ Ipsos Reuters has a tracking poll AND a one time per month separate poll. It's about time for the one time per month poll to come out, Romney may have been up 3 in that.

FYI, last time the one time a month poll came out it skewed more toward Romney than the tracking poll did.
