President 2012 Poll Watch: Obama 48% Vs. Romney 46%

In the battle for the White House, President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney are locked in a   close contest nationally.  According to this McClatchy-Marist Poll, 48% of U.S. registered   voters including those who are undecided yet leaning toward a candidate support President   Obama compared with 46% for Romney.  Less than one percent backs another candidate,   and 6% are undecided.  “The race was close yesterday, it’s close today, and may even be close on Election Day,”   says Dr. Lee M. Miringoff, Director of The Marist College Institute for Public Opinion.  “You need to look no farther than the president’s approval rating to see how divided the electorate is.”
