Poll: Swing-State Voters Split 48-48 Between Obama, Romney By Meghashyam Mali - 11/04/12
Voters in swing states are evenly split between President Obama and GOP nominee Mitt Romney, according to a new poll from USA Today/Gallup.
The poll released late Sunday finds 48 percent of likely voters in the nation’s key battlegrounds backing Obama and 48 preferring Romney.
The numbers show a 4-point bounce for Obama from the last USA Today/Gallup Poll of Swing States in early October, taken days after a disappointing first debate for the president. Obama also leads by 4-points among registered voters at 50 to 46, which the poll notes is the largest margin and the first time either candidate has hit 50 percent since Romney clinched the GOP nomination in the spring.
The poll shows Obama regaining a strong edge with female voters who had drifted towards Romney after the first debate, boosting the GOP challenger in national polls. Obama now leads among women by 16 points, while Romney holds a 10-point advantage among men.

Wait, so now Gallup is not to be trusted also?
It appears that hurricanes are DemocRATS. A four point bounce with Sandy? People are morons.
This is a poll created by left wing UsaToday by Gallup .
It’s not a Gallup poll !
It’s that left wing rags poll criteria not Gallups !
Trust me my mothers family lives down the street in Fl from the left wing crack pot founder !
A tedious bore and obnoxious lefty .
It’s the media coverage of the hurricane and Gov Christie the traitor.
Don’t see the internals. Do we know sample sizes?
The way the left has demonized anti-O voters as racists and worse, who would want to admit that they would not vote Dem?
It is certain that this only tilts the polls to the left, and I think by a lot more than many believe.
Steelfish,
post was not directed at you.
Cat Owner,
No polling agency that sells their poll results to newspapers, or news sites, should be trusted.
The polling companies you have never heard of are those that are hired by the candidates to see where they are, where they need to be, and what to do next. They make the real money.
The polls we see are those used to generate sale of newspapers or hits to websites.
Should you be bashing the bush family on some other website !
You are loving this, aren’t you?
Chris Christie sold the country down the river because Obammy brought him some cash.
Women apparently ate it up and they now loves them some Obama again.
D 37, R 29, I 34. And it’s Registered Voters.
D +8 in swing states? I don’t think so. BTW, they
count New Mexico as a swing state.
Find a post here on FR where I bashed Bush (either) and indicated I disliked the main. I *dare* you. Please do it. I want you to waste as much of your time as possible.
Not really. I see “Gallup” and wondered about the accuracy of the information. Seems I am not the only one. Have anything constructive to add about the poll?
Wasn’t it Gallup that had Jimmy Carter up by 4 points in 1980?
Gallup’s final election poll for 1980 had it Reagan 47-44.
LoL don't worry CatOwner, Obama is still toast in a few hours.
