Radars. >>shepard: what has the polling trend been? obama is up, right? >>guest: our polling has him up almost 4 1/2 points which you have seen in the polls that have come out. a news poll had him up five points. on the ground, though, i think there is a closer race and observers and analysts are saying that we will see a race more like 2004 between bush and john kerry which was a two-point race and not the four-point race we saw four years ago. >>shepard: the locals are telling us, our reporter...

Campaigning. this is hard to imagine. >>heather: can you comment on this last rasmussen poll, the undecided and voting "other." 8 percent up for grabs. when you talk about complacency, as you mentioned, that is an important number, the 8 percent. >> i believe in the passion deliver enshall. which side is more energized. in 2008, clearly the democrats and obama, after eight years of george w. bush, they were pumped to win the election. this year, my side, the republican side, has been much more e...

Persuadable voters in this. you had very small slice of undecided. >> but 2%. >> when youre 55 days out, youre going to have 7%, 8%, 9% undecided. in this case it was 5% or less undecided. and thats what makes this rough for romney. if this is simply a bump for the president, and it settles down to where the race was before the conventions, well then you have some room to operate. the scary thing for romney is, does this bump last for the president? its clear he got one after the convention. you...
