Obama: 47%
Romney: 38%
Both men draw reasonable support from within their own party, but the man from Illinois has an eleven-point edge among unaffiliated voters. Obama leads Romney by 19 percentage points among women but trails by three among men.
Obama is viewed favorably by 54% of all voters, and 58% of women (versus 51% of men). He is viewed unfavorably by 37% of all voters.
Governor Romney is viewed favorably by 37%, unfavorably by 43%, and remains a mystery to some 20%. That's consistent with earlier polls showing that as Romney has become better known, his unfavorable rating has somewhat outpaced his growing favorable rating. In November of 2006 he was viewed favorably by 30%, unfavorably by 29%.
