Obama has opened up a 6-point lead over Romney in our latest poll, his largest lead yet.
Some 8.1% of those polled said they were “not sure” whom they would vote for, also the largest percentage yet.
Obama’s lead seemed to build after the second debate, which many mainstream media pundits believe Obama won.
Self-described “moderates” now prefer Obama over Romney by 22 points, the second largest margin since we began polling.
Obama holds a hefty 35-point lead among urban dwellers, and a comfortable 5-point lead in the suburbs.
