Obama Inches Past Romney In Virginia Presidential Race

[BumRushDaShow]

2. How is 47 - 43 interpreted as being "inches" (difference)?

Considering the margin of error is +/- 2.5%. They make it worse by this nonsense of "razor thin":

"For the first time since Quinnipiac University began polling Virginia voters on the race, President Barack Obama holds a razor-thin lead over Gov. Mitt Romney," said Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. "The keys are the president's improved standing among independent voters and women in the Old Dominion."

In any case, it is good news and there was additional good info:

In the Obama-Romney matchup, independent voters favor the president 45 - 41 percent, compared to a 41 - 41 percent tie in December. A gender gap is opening up as women shift to the president, backing him 52 - 40 percent, compared to a 43 - 45 percent split in December.
