Current Election Leader

I feel like Obama is the current leader in the election. Romney did a very nice job in the first presidential debate, but Obama really stepped things up from the most recent one. I noticed that Obama took a more direct approach in explaining how he was going to solve issues, while Romney seemed to just give his ideas and goals in a lot of his responses. Obama is also ahead in terms of the number of electoral votes from the individual states; he is at an estimated 294 while Romney is at 244. My opinion is contradicted by researchers from The University of Colorado. These researchers conducted a study and concluded that Romney is most likely to win by the standards of the Electoral College. I still feel though that Obama has the upper hand in this election. It just seems that in all of the statistics I find regarding the election on CNN, Obama has more support. I feel like Obama’s experience as president will out him in a higher position to be re-elected, while Romney is only familiar of being a governor at this point.
