Poll: Romney gaining in battleground states

The Paul Ryan effect?

Via The Hill:
According to Purple, Romney leads Obama 47 percent to 46 in those 12 states. That’s a swing of 3 percentage points from the same poll in July, when Obama led 47 percent to 45.

Romney leads Obama by 48 percent to 47 in Florida, but the same poll showed Obama trailing there by 3 percent last month.

Romney leads 48 percent to 46 in Ohio, after trailing 48 to 45 percent last month, and in Virginia, the poll showed Romney leading 48 percent to 45, after he trailed by 2 percent in July.

Obama widened his lead in Colorado to 49 to 46 percent, after leading by 1 percent last month.

Romney is buoyed in the poll by independents, who favor him by 11 points over Obama. Romney led by 5 points among independents in the same poll from July.
