Obama holds 18-point lead over Romney among women: Poll | | President Barack Obama has an 18-point lead over Republican rival Mitt Romney, as he has a commanding lead among female voters. In Quinnipiac’s survey, 49 percent Americans prefer
Obama, compared to Romney who has 45 percent among likely voters. That lead is
built upon the 56 percent to 38 percent advantage that Obama has built among women.
According to Politico, Romney has a 10-point lead among men, leading Obama 52
percent to 42 percent. “It is also very difficult to win an election when you
are getting shellacked among women, the group that makes up about half the electorate,”
Quinnipiac's assistant director Peter Brown, said in a release. Romney edges Obama
among independent voters, with 47 percent backing him over 45 percent for Obama.
He also leads among white voters, 53 percent to 42 percent.
Voters have a more favorable impression of the Democratic Party, with 49 percent of voters rating
the Democrats unfavorably. Fifty-two percent of voters have a negative impression
of the GOP.
And despite the Obama campaign’s efforts to lower expectations for
Wednesday's debate, voters largely expect Obama to beat Romney handily. Just 28
percent of voters believe that Romney will win the debate, versus 54 percent who
believe Obama will win.
