AP-GfK poll shows White House race still tight (Obama 47% Romney 46%)
Associated Press ^ | 8/22/2012 | Josh Lederman and Tom Raum

For all the attention it got, Republican Mitt Romney's selection of Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin as his running mate has not altered the race against President Barack Obama. The campaign remains neck and neck with less than three months to go, a new AP-GfK poll shows.

Overall, 47 percent of registered voters said they planned to back Obama and Vice President Joe Biden in November, while 46 percent favored Romney and Ryan. That's not much changed from a June AP-GfK survey, when the split was 47 percent for the president to 44 percent for Romney.

At the same time, there's a far wider gap when people were asked who they thought would win. Some 58 percent of adults said they expected Obama to be re-elected, while just 32 percent said they thought he'd be voted out of office.

you are not correct, it was just adults, not even registered voters. I looked it up earlier and posted it in a previous thread about this issue.

It may not be that close. This is "registered voters" with oversampling of Dems +8 yet shows Obama is flat and Romney's gained 2.

As long as Obama doesn't see record turn out like 2008, Romney's in good shape and can win.

45% don’t pay taxes, Blacks ,queers,Hispanics , and women voting for the man who buys their vote by borrowing money, to keep them bought. They aren’t goging to vote to stop the freebies.

The Romney votes will come from those of us who are paying the bills. These people voting for the freebies do not realise we are reaching the tipping point.Or they don’t care.

This is nothing more than sick, divisive B.S. Both party's candidates will pull voters from all those groups as always.
