President Barack Obama continues to hold a big lead in Washington state over Republican challenger Mitt Romney, according to a new KING 5 News poll.

Asked if the election were held today, 54 percent of respondents said they would support Obama, compared with 38 percent who said they would vote for Romney.

Just 4 percent of respondents said they were undecided, while another 4 percent said they plan to vote for other candidates.

The new survey shows that Obama has reclaimed some support in Washington state. A KING 5 poll conducted in May showed Obama leading Romney by 14 points, but a July poll showed that lead down to 9 points, with Obama leading 46 percent to 37 percent.

Obama carried Washington state by 17 points in 2008

Women voters are the strongest Obama backers in Washington, with 59 percent saying they support his reelection vs. 33 percent who support Romney. Among men, Obama has 50 percent support compared with 42 percent for Romney.
