14. Other good tidbits from this poll
Sun Nov 4, 2012, 04:32 PM
Nov 2012

"Nearly four-in-ten (39%) likely voters support Obama strongly, while 9% back him only moderately. A third (33%) of likely voters support Romney strongly, compared with 11% who back him moderately. In past elections, dating to 1960, the candidate with the higher percentage of strong support has usually gone on to win the popular vote."

So much for that enthusiasm gap eh?


"Obama’s handling of the storm’s aftermath may have contributed to his improved showing. Fully 69% of all likely voters approve of the way Obama is handling the storm’s impact. Even a plurality of Romney supporters (46%) approve of Obama’s handling of the situation; more important, so too do 63% of swing voters."

In 2000, 2004, and 2008... Pew's final poll was VERY close to the end result scheming daemons Nov 2012 #1
