With the presidential election less than two weeks away and just one more presidential debate to go, the race to the white house is now neck to neck for President Obama and Mitt Romney.
A survey by Democratic leaning Public Policy Polling reported that President Obama is leading republican candidate Mitt Romney by 51-46.
In Ohio, a state where 18 electoral votes are available, Real Clear Politics has the president leading 2.5 more points.
The poll taken by PPP also showed that 19 percent of Ohioans voted for Obama, leaving him in the 76-24 margin against his competitor.
Also, PPP reported that the vice presidential debate between VP Joe Biden and Romney's wing man, Congressman Paul Ryan may have had a little influence in those numbers.
PPP released a statement saying, "46 percent of Ohio voters think Joe Biden won it to 37 percent who believe Paul Ryan was the victor."
"Biden's advantage is 44/32 with independents. 62 percent of both Democrats and Republicans say they're very excited to vote this fall, reversing a trend we saw in some post Presidential debate."
According to the Gallup Poll, half of potential voters suddenly prefer Romney for president and 46% for Obama.
Early voting started on Thursday in North Carolina, and reports by Real Clear Politics has Obama behind Romney by nearly six points.
A Nate Silver Probability Analysis states that Romney has a better chance of winning that state with an 86.1 percent rate. Five months ago, that same analysis showed Romney leading Obama by just one point.
North Carolina has one of the best ground games in the country according to Obama's Traveling Press Secretary, Jen Psaki.
"They've registered more voters than I think most other swing states, which is an enormous accomplishment," Psaki said.
There are 15 electoral votes up for grabs in North Carolina on Election Day, Nov. 6.
