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.

Go join the three proverbial monkeys if you want to seal yourself in an echo chamber especially if you are unable like the other posts to make constructive comments on the polls out there and the only polls you can handle are ones that favor RR.

It’s very simple. Usa today saw Romney +3 with likey voters, and it tied with registered voters. They chose to go to press with the registered voters poll.

This is not Gallup's normal poll. This is a weighted poll same as the rest bought and paid for by USA Today.

You really would be happier at DU.

You obviously have not read all of my comments on this thread. Typical that some here on FR want their pristine little world with no questioning and no dissension. Sorry you feel that way.
