Obama leads in NBC/WSJ poll: A new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll shows Obama leading Romney 48 percent to 44 percent.
The poll shows voters continue to process negative information about Romney, with 44 percent saying what they’ve heard in recent weeks has made them feel more negative toward Romney, as opposed to 32 percent who said it has made them feel more positive. Overall, Romney’s favorable/unfavorable split is 38/44.
On the congressional ballot, voters say they would prefer Democrats to control Congress by a 47 percent to 42 percent margin. That’s up from a one-point Democratic advantage last month. The GOP brand remains significantly worse than the Democratic brand.
