Newsmax/Zogby Poll: Obama 47%, Romney 44%
10/14/2012 @ 7:31 PM
A NewsmaxZogby Poll of 863 likely voters taken on Friday and Saturday show President Barack Obama in a dead heat with GOP challenger Governor Mitt Romney – Obama 47% to Romney 44%. Nine percent are undecided. The nationwide online poll has a margin of error of +/-3.4 points.
The joint venture between the Florida-based publisher and the New York State-based pollster will feature tracking polls in Ohio, Florida, Virginia and nationally right up to Election Day.
The President continues to poll solidly among Democrats (88%-7%), Hispanics (62%-30%), African Americans (95%-1%), women (51%40%), Catholics (53%-42%), liberals (91%-5%), and moderates (56%-29%).
Mr. Romney is doing very well among Republicans (86%-9%), voters over 65 (58%-35%), men (49%-43%), evangelicals (62%-28%), married voters (50%-40%), conservatives (77%-18%), and investors (56%-39%). He has opened up a lead among weekly Wal-Mart Shoppers (50%-39%).
The President still needs to worry about reduced support among young voters. While he leads by 22 points (58%-36%), that is well below his 66%-30% victory in 2008. His meager lead of 49% to 45% among the very important Creative Class can also hurt him. Economist and author Richard Florida has identified the economic and social importance of these knowledge sector leaders. Their support for Mr. Obama in 2008 was crucial in such states as Virginia, North Carolina, Florida, and Colorado – helping to turn those previously red states into blue states.

But who cares about that. We need as many positive National polls as we can right now.
