Mitt Romney's latest gaffe has given President Barack Obama's post-convention lead in the polls a little more strength.

Obama is leading in several surveys released days after a video showing Romney talk to donors surfaced.

The GOP contender went on the defensive after he told the group during the May event that he couldn't win over the 47% of Americans who don't pay income tax.
