Fox Poll: Obama up by 9%. 11% among Independent voters

The negative Obama ads, the negative media coverage from the London Olympics and the ongoing controversy over not releasing tax returns seems to be dragging down Mitt Romney’s support, according to a Fox News Poll released yesterday.

Obama leads Romney 49%-40% in the poll.  Last month the president’s lead was 45-41.

Romney’s approval rating has slipped from 52% to 46%.  Obama’s rose to 54% from 52% in July.

30% of Independents are undecided about who they will vote for in November.  Of those who say they have decided, Obama leads by 11%.

95% of the respondents said they were interested in the raise.  Among the 40% who said they were “extremely interested,” Obama and Romney are tied at 48%.  Last month Romney lead that group 53%-42%.
