"What's happened since an election ugg boots outlet in 2008 and right now, again, is this huge economic calamity caused by a series of bad decisions that were made before the president ever got there," Obama campaign senior adviser Robert Gibbs said on CNN's "State of the Union. "This election was always going to be close because we live in a closely divided country."

A week ago, a Reuters/Ipsos poll said Obama led Romney 46 percent to 42 percent. The Republican's own convention gave him a small boost, vaulting him into an even position with Obama but no further.

Now Obama, who is to accept the www.uggbootsoutletwebsite.com nomination on Thursday, could get his own convention bounce. Ipsos pollster Julia Clark said Obama's numbers would likely improve during his convention.

"The fact that Obama and Romney are still tied signals to me that we're not going to see any sort of sustained bump for Romney," Clark said. "As we go into next week's convention, Romney will struggle to maintain even footing with the president - we'll likely see a shift back towards Obama."

While each candidate won overwhelming support from voters in his own political party, Romney was leading Obama among all-important ugg outlet independent voters by 33 percent to 28 percent, the poll found.
