Pew: Obama, Romney In Dead Heat

A new poll from the Pew Research Center finds a deadlocked presidential race with just a week to go until election day. In the new poll, President Obama and GOP contender Mitt Romney are each pulling support from 47 percent of likely voters. The president, though, is leading 47-45 among all registered voters — a difference likely attributable to more than three-quarters of Republicans saying they are likely to vote, outpacing the 62 percent of Democrats who say the same. The poll shows Romney having largely closed the favorability gap, with Obama now leading just 52-50 percent. Still, Obama is seen as the leader more likely to connect well with ordinary Americans, to take consistent positions on issues, and to be more honest and truthful/Justin Sink, The Hill. More here.

Question: On a scale of 1-10, with 1 being "absolutely yawner" & 10 "totally sold out," how enthusiatic are you re: your choice for president?
