The two crucial swing states hosting major party conventions this year are statistical dead heats when it comes to the presidential race: Democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling surveys released late Sunday night showed President Obama up 1 point in Floridaand tied with Republican nominee Mitt Romney in North Carolina.
"Mitt Romney received no bounce from the Republican convention in Florida. ... The other speakers appear to have made more of a positive impression on voters than he did himself. To some extent he was overshadowed at his own convention," said Dean Debnam, President of PPP in a release. "North Carolina looks like a sheer toss up heading into the Democratic convention."
Obama is ahead 48 percent to 47 percent in Florida, and both men are locked at 48 percent in North Carolina. The story is very similar in both states -- President Obama's approval rating lags and Romney's own lukewarm favorability ratings aren't enough to push him past Obama.
