According to a new NBC/Marist poll, President Obama holds a slight edge over likely Republican nominee Mitt Romney in three pivotal swing states: Florida, Virginia and Ohio. Emphasis on the word slight.
Obama is ahead of Romney by a four point gap in both Florida and Virginia, 48 percent to 44 percent, among registered voters. And the president’s up by six in Ohio, 48 percent to 42 percent. While the scales are tipped in Obama way, he’s still under the 50 percent marker, so Romney is still within striking distances.

Polls this far out give measurement to the rise and swell of the weekly news cycle.
That said, it does show that Obama has quite a ways to go to seal the deal in these three swing states, and with the4 Republican Party candidates for statewide offices having done well in all three states lately, there could be signs of impending difficulty for the incumbant President, as the "undecided" voters usually have a way of breaking for the challenger.
Not "impending difficulty."
Impending doom.
