Is Romney actually leading in the polls or are some people delusional?

Pollsters know that their job is to report with accuracy. If *all* the pollsters were getting it wrong, people would be losing their jobs. Even Wall Street Journal is showing Obama currently ahead in the polls.

The spin comes with how the polls are interpreted, but the raw data is not false.

The raw data isn't displayed. That's my point. Where is the inclusion of the breakdown of Republican, Democrat, Independent voters? Without this, the statistics are meaningless.

And the pollsters do get it wrong, quite often, actually. Look at the polling services rankings from 2008. Some projections are hilariously incorrect. I think Rasmussen was most reliable.

Rasmussen is the most unreliable poll, and is much more favorable towards republicans. The fact is that since the 2010 elections less people are calling themselves republican, and more are calling themselves democrats. 

ummm... rasmussen was shown to be the most accurate.

I never said that it wasn't accurate, I mean that it is unreliable in telling who is ahead right now because they are national polls. This election is mostly focused on the swing states, where Obama is ahead by a decent magin.
