Check it out, it’s all good news.

A week after President Barack Obama’s lackluster debate performance, Republican challenger Mitt Romney has made some gains in three key swing states among those most likely to vote, according to the latest round of NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist polls.

Romney and Obama remain in a virtual tie in Virginia and Florida, and the Democratic incumbent maintains a slight advantage in Ohio.

Romney saw his largest gain in Virginia, where he now edges the president 48 percent to 47 percent, a 3-point reversal from last week’s poll, released the day of the first presidential debate. The spread is within the poll’s margin of error. More via NBC/WSJ/Marist poll: – First Read.

    They up’d the Dem count 3% from their last poll so they could still show Obama 3% up and within margin of error? Those two numbers alone suggest that their own tally properly shows the race tied but they don’t want to report that so good ‘ol Chuck Todd just changed the sample.
