Poll: Romney has support from 47% [View all]

[RandySF]

Mitt Romney has said that “47 percent” of Americans “are dependent upon government” and will vote for President Barack Obama “no matter what,” but a new poll suggests many of those people support the GOP nominee instead.

Among registered voters who earn less than $24,000 annually, 34 percent support Romney, versus 58 percent for Obama, according to a Gallup poll released Tuesday.

The numbers improve for Romney with voters earning between $24,000 and $36,000 annually: 41 percent for Romney, 53 percent for Obama.

In a leaked recording from a May fundraiser in Florida, Romney said that “47 percent” of President Barack Obama’s supporters “pay no income tax.”
