"clings to"

4 points is a strong lead in a swing state. clings to is a verbal narrative of o holding on against r's momentum; but that simply isn't present in the numbers. o's state by state lead seems fairly stable.

but one poll does not make an election. overall, looks like a point or two advantage for o in va.

4 points is better than tied!

Obama clings to a slender lead in Va., Post poll shows

Amy Gardner and Scott Clement

President Obama is clinging to a slender four-point lead over Republican Mitt Romney in Virginia as both sides ramp up already aggressive campaigns in the crucial battleground state, according to a new Washington Post poll.

Obama outpolled Romney, 51 to 47 percent, among likely Virginia voters, although he lost the clearer 52-to-44 percent advantage he held in mid-September.
