Romney has matched Obama on the question of who's presented a clearer economic plan, a measure on which the president held a broad 16-point advantage this summer.
The poll shows a divide of 43-43 percent on who's offered a clearer plan for the economy, compared with a 49-33 percent division in Obama's favor on the same question in July - improvement for Romney as the campaign's progressed.
Romney's also advanced in another area, affirmative voting, measured by the share of his backers who say they mainly support him rather than oppose Obama. Yet Romney still trails Obama on this potentially motivational measure, one reason the president is still so competitive.

PPP poll
Meanwhile, left-leaning Public Policy Polling says its latest survey shows Barack Obama and Mitt Romney tied at 48 percent in North Carolina, representing a small shift in Obama's direction from a week and a half ago when Romney led 49-47.
Obama has built up a lead over the first week of the early voting period in the state. Among those who say they've already voted he's at 57% to 42% for Romney. Romney achieves the overall tie because of a 50/45 advantage among those yet to vote.

AP-GfK Poll
Just over a week out from Election Day, Republican Mitt Romney has erased President Barack Obama's 16-point advantage among women.
That's according to a new Associated Press-GfK poll, which also shows the president, in turn, has largely eliminated Romney's edge among men.
Those churning gender dynamics leave the presidential race still a virtual dead heat, with Romney favored by 47 percent of likely voters and Obama by 45 percent, a result within the poll's margin of sampling error, the survey shows.
