We noted on Monday that a number of polls showed President Obama leading in several swing states, including Ohio and Florida. Now, a new daily Gallup poll shows an Obama lead of 6 points nationally, seeming to confirm a noticeable shift in other polls. What's significant about this poll is that, along with the Rethug-biased Rasmussen poll, the Gallup poll tends to skew toward Rethugs.
Again, the only polls that count are the one voters go to on November 6, but with only a few weeks left in the campaign, the trends are very favorable to the President's reelection. Many voters seem to have made a decision on who they're voting for, and the "undecideds" appear to be breaking for President Obama. His campaign's focus on Willard "One Percenter" Romney's "47%" comments seem to be cementing the image of him as an out-of-touch, arrogant greed head that has no real interest in middle class issues.
UPDATE: And more good news: Catholics breaking for Obama (so sad, Cardinal Dolan!).
UPDATE II: Good jobs news, too.

Quote of the Day
"So Mr. Romney’s position seems to be that we need not worry about the poor thanks to programs that he insists, falsely, don’t actually help the needy, and which he intends, in any case, to destroy. Still, I believe Mr. Romney when he says he isn’t concerned about the poor. What I don’t believe is his assertion that he’s equally unconcerned about the rich, who are 'doing fine.' After all, if that’s what he really feels, why does he propose showering them with money?" -- Nobel Prize winning economist Paul Krugman in the New York Times. The whole article is worth a read.
