Women back Obama 56 to Mitt's 38, black voters 94 to 2. Obama same as 2008 with white voters [View all]
as women are half or more of the vote, with numbers like these, it is impossible for Mitt to win
(and in Ohio he leads with rural women by a major amount, voters he did not have in 2008,
and voters that do not trust Mitt at all).

Obama Ahead With Strong Support from Women
A new Quinnipiac poll finds President Obama leads Mitt Romney nationally among likely voters, 49% to 45%.
Key findings: The president leads 56% to 38% among women and 94% to 2% among black voters. Men back Romney 52% to 42% while white voters back him 53% to 42%.
Said pollster Peter Brown: "President Obama won only about 43% of the white vote in 2008, so his current standing among whites tracks his earlier winning performance. If the president can match or exceed his 2008 showing among whites it will be difficult to impossible for Romney to win. 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."
