NBC polls: Obama edges Romney in three key battleground states

By Mark Murray, Senior Political Editor, NBC News

President Barack Obama holds a narrow advantage over presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney in three of the most pivotal presidential battleground states -- Florida, Ohio and Virginia -- according to new NBC-Marist polls.

But in each of these states, Obama's share of the vote is below the 50 percent threshold usually considered safe haven for an incumbent president, and Romney has narrowed the margin in these three battlegrounds since earlier this year.

In Florida and Virginia, Obama leads Romney by an identical four-point margin, 48 percent to 44 percent, among registered voters, including those who are undecided but leaning toward a particular candidate.

1. As I posted yesterday Qinnipiac polling is horrible and now another poll verifies it

2. Registered voters.

When the polls start using likely voters and they are two months from the election, I'll start paying attention. Until then, not worth even looking at.
