A campaign on the verge of change?

COMMENTARY
From Clark S. Judge: managing director of the White House Writers Group and chairman of the Pacific Research Institute:
Here’s a shocker. Judging by this morning’s top line polling data, almost nothing in the presidential race has changed since mid-January.

Think of it.

The first three-day Rasmussen head-to-head tracking poll in 2012 (taken January 19-21) found 46 percent of voters supporting President Obama to 43 percent supporting Governor Romney, a three-point spread.

In Rasmussen’s most recent May 18-20 poll, 47 percent favored the president, 44 percent the governor, also a three-point spread – zero change in four months.

I am not saying that Mr. Obama has been ahead throughout. Since March 1st, the race’s lead position has switched sixteen times. Today the president is ahead. Last week Mr. Romney was. But almost all this movement has been within polling’s margin of error.

But even if nothing has changed, signs are that everything is in the process of changing.
