Today's installment of campaign-related news items that won't necessarily generate a post of their own, but may be of interest to political observers:

* A new New York Times/CBS/Quinnipiac poll shows Obama with a one-point lead over Mitt Romney at the national level, 48% to 47%.
* In Ohio, NYT/CBS/Quinnipiac shows Obama ahead by five, 50% to 45%, while SurveyUSA found the president leading by three, 48% to 45%.
* In Virginia, NYT/CBS/Quinnipiac shows Obama up by two, 49% to 47%, but a Roanoke College poll found Romney up by five, 49% to 44%.
* In Florida, NYT/CBS/Quinnipiac shows Obama ahead by one, 48% to 47%.
