Two polls show tie, narrow Obama lead in Florida

One new poll in Florida shows a tie in the presidential race while another shows a very narrow lead by President Barack Obama.

A University of North Florida poll with an error margin of 3.7 points shows Obama with a 4-point lead, 49 percent to 45 percent.

An NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist survey shows Obama with 1-point leads of 48-47 percent, well under the error margin, in both Florida and Virginia, and a 6-point lead, 51-45 percent, in Ohio.

Both polls were done after last week’s presidential debate.
