Pew National Poll: Obama opens a ten-point lead on Romney 51-41

[WI_DEM]

The latest national survey by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, conducted July 16-26, 2012, among 2,508 adults, including 1,956 registered voters, finds that, in keeping with his favorability advantage, Obama continues to hold a sizable lead over Romney in the election contest. Currently, 51% say they support Obama or lean toward him, while 41% support or lean toward Romney. This is largely unchanged from earlier in July and consistent with polling over the course of this year. Across eight Pew Research Center surveys since January, Obama has led Romney by between four and 12 percentage points.

The relative stability of this race can be seen within most voting blocs as well. Whites have consistently favored Romney over Obama, while minority support for Obama has held relatively steady. As has been the case all year, women favor Obama by a wide margin; currently 56% of women support Obama, while 37% back Romney. Men are more evenly divided (46% Obama, 47% Romney). Obama’s support among voters under 30 remains strong (58% vs. 34% for Romney in the current survey), while voters 65 and older are divided (49% Romney vs. 45% Obama).

1. WAIT, is that the sound of more RW StupidPACs tossing coins?

It will be.


WHAT IF America cannot be bought? I would be so very proud.

2. I'd feel better if this were all registered voters. I wonder what those numbers are?

The article is confusing, because it states that not all the respondents were registered voters, but the chart showing the 51-41 results mentions only registered voters.
