Obama takes clear lead over Romney for first time since April | For the first time since April, President Barack Obama has opened up a sustained lead over presumptive
Republican nominee Mitt Romney. According to the Gallup Poll, Obama leads with
48 percent over Romney at 44 percent, which is the sixth consecutive day in which
the poll has shown him lead. Obama's lead comes after almost two months in which
the two candidates were essentially tied in the poll's results, Los Angeles Times
reports. The uptick for Obama started before the Supreme Court's ruling upholding
most parts of Obama's healthcare act. The ruling, itself, does not appear to have
had an impact on the shape of the race. Democratic strategists believe that the
Obama campaign's repeated attacks on Romney's business record, particularly the
involvement of his company, Bain Capital, in "offshoring" of jobs, has begun to
connect with voters. The results are particularly notable because many polling
analysts believe that Gallup 's methods for analyzing its surveys slightly under-represents
the number of minority voters and, therefore, understates Obama's support by a
couple of points. Several recent state-by-state polls also have showed results
consistent with a small increase in Obama's support.
