Poll: Romney cuts Obama lead to 1 point in swing-state Wis.
{mosads}Obama leads by 2 percentage points in Wisconsin, according to the Real Clear Politics average of polls.
The latest Marquette poll was conducted before Tuesday night’s town-hall debate, but shows how much Romney gained on the president on the strength of his overwhelming debate victory earlier this month in Denver.
Marquette University polling director Charles Franklin said over Twitter that the race in Wisconsin is “as close as it could possibly be.”
