According to a new poll by the Washington Post & ABC News, last week’s Democratic National Convention helped President Obama improve his standing against Republican Mitt Romney, but did little to reduce voter concern about his handling of the economy.
The survey shows the race remains close among likely voters, with Obama at 49% and Romney at 48%. However, the president holds an edge among all registered voters, topping Romney with a 50% to 44% advantage.
A separate poll conducted by CNN shows Obama has a double-digit lead over Mitt Romney on both the issues of healthcare and Medicare. According to that poll, 54% of likely voters think Obama would better handle the issue of health care, compared with 45% for Romney.
