POLL WATCH: Obama gains ground after Sandy. Big Names Predict Romney Landslide

WASHINGTON — President Obama heads into election day with a narrow lead in two carefully watched national polls, with the Pew Research Center projecting a 50% to 47% margin for the president over Republican Mitt Romney and the NBC/Wall St. Journal poll finding him ahead 48% to 47%.

A week ago, a Pew survey had found the race tied, at 47% each. Obama’s handling of the aftermath of the massive storm that hit the northeast may have contributed to his rise since, say Pew researchers. In the survey, 69% of likely voters said they approved of how Obama had handled the storm. The NBC/Wall St. Journal survey found a similar level of support on that issue.
