The 4th paragraph says: "About a third of voters say they are “extremely” interested in the election. Among just that group, Romney tops Obama by 50 percent to 44 percent."

So 1/3 of the sample body who said O is up 7 points on Etch is 50% over the moon for Etch, which is well within the 39% Etch sees.

Most. Awkward. Spin. of. the. Day.
