Obama Erases Romney’s Edge on Economy

President Obama has taken away Mitt Romney’s longstanding advantage as the
candidate voters say is most likely to restore the economy and create jobs,
according to the latest poll by The New York Times and CBS News, which found a
modest sense of optimism among Americans that White House policies are working.

But while the climate for Mr. Obama has improved since midsummer, and Mr. Romney
has failed to shift sentiment decisively in his favor, the poll found that the
presidential race is narrowly divided.

With their conventions behind them and the general election fully engaged, the
Democratic Party is viewed more favorably than the Republican Party. The poll
also found more likely voters give an edge to Mr. Obama on foreign policy,
Medicare and addressing the challenges of the middle class. The only major issue
on which Mr. Romney held an advantage was handling the federal budget deficit.
