The ship is sinking for Obama right now and I highly doubt he can get the water off fast enough.

WASHINGTON — In the U.S. presidential race, the latest public opinion polls suggest President Barack Obama has built a modest lead over his Republican challenger, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney. But analysts say the race remains close as both campaigns prepare for a series of debates beginning October 3.
The most recent nationwide polls show President Barack Obama with a lead over challenger Mitt Romney of between three and seven points.
The surveys were made after the two party conventions and suggest President Obama received a bigger boost from his convention than Romney did from his.
(did you see that last line, pain?)
.......note the gallup poll on the right hand side of the page.
and at the bottom:
In addition to a lead in national polls, President Obama also leads Romney in a number of closely contested so-called battleground states that will likely determine the outcome of the election November 6.
Speaking on VOA's Encounter program, Judd Legum of the Center for American Progress says President Obama has an advantage in the state-by-state competition for electoral college votes because he can afford to lose a few states he won four years ago and still win re-election.
