Although President Barack Obama is said to be currently holding a considerable lead on a national scale, it appears to be decreasing as many polls seemingly have Governor Mitt Romney with an advantage in the states of North Carolina, Florida and Colorado with New Hampshire and Virginia still up in the air.

According to the surveys ran by University of Alabama's statistics professor Wes Colley, Obama is still ahead over Romney by a 291-243 electoral margin. In order to obtain his results, Colley employed a basic mathematical model to translate the often conflicting data of the presidential polls.

Politico is saying that the seven battleground states that'll play key roles in the November election will be Ohio, Iowa, Colorado, Virginia, New Hampshire, Florida and Wisconsin.

According to Two Circles, Mitt Romney's strategist Russ Schriefer spoke on the Republican campaign's future approach to those respective states.

"That states that we're playing in are the states we need to win. We'll see what happens in the next two weeks. We're going to concentrate on Ohio and Colorado and Iowa and New Hampshire," he said.

Nonetheless, campaign officials on team Obama feel as though they're ahead in Ohio, Wisconsin, Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada and are ready to up their campaigns in Florida, Colorado and Virginia.

The President is set to do a 48-hour tour of Colorado, Florida, Virginia, Nevada and Ohio before making the trek to New Hampshire on Saturday for his second appearance in a ten day period.

With the final presidential debate in Boca Raton, Fla. now well past its finish, there have been a plethora of polls with varying results. While the accuracy of these surveys and the amount of people participating in them can significantly alter who has the true advantage, only time will truly tell who will come out on top in the Nov. 6 election.
