2012 US Presidential Election - Opinion Polls


Pew Research Center, in its latest opinion poll, said that Obama has edged Romney in the final days of the presidential campaign by holding a 48 per cent to 45 per cent lead over Romney among likely voters.
According to Pew, Obama maintains his modest lead when the probable decisions of undecided voters are taken into account. "Our final estimate of the national popular vote is Obama 50 per cent and Romney 47 per cent, when the undecided vote is allocated between the two candidates based on several indicators and opinions," Pew said. 

According to  CNN/ORC Brack Obama and Mitt Romney tied at 49% each.
 "49 % of likely voters questioned said they support the President, with an equal amount saying they back the former Massachusetts governor," the CNN/ORC International survey said


According to C-Voter, Obama 49% leads Romney 48% by one point.


NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll indicates Obama at 48 % and Romney at 47%


ABC News/Washington Post tracking poll puts Barack Obama at 49 % and Mitt Romney at 48%


Also all these surveys also indicate a gender gap for the two candidates -

Barack Obama has a lead among women voters,Mitt Romney is more popular among men voters
"53 % of women saying they plan to vote for Obama compared to only 44 %of men. That works out to a nine-point gender gap, which would be the largest since 1996

On age, Obama is getting less support among younger voters than he did four years ago. But he manages a tie with Governor Romney among senior citizens.
