AP poll: Romney erases Obama advantage among women

WASHINGTON (AP) -- <snip>

Less than two weeks out from Election Day, Republican Mitt Romney has erased President Barack Obama's 16-point advantage among women, a new Associated Press-GfK poll shows. And the president, in turn, has largely eliminated Romney's edge among men.

Those churning gender dynamics leave the presidential race still a virtual dead heat, with Romney favored by 47 percent of likely voters and Obama by 45 percent, a result within the poll's margin of sampling error, the survey shows.

After a commanding first debate performance and a generally good month, Romney has gained ground with Americans on a number of important fronts, including their confidence in how he would handle the economy and their impressions of his ability to understand their problems.

At the same time, expectations that Obama will be re-elected have slipped: Half of voters now expect the president to win a second term, down from 55 percent a month earlier.

For all of the good news for Republicans, however, what matters most in the election endgame is Romney's standing in the handful of states whose electoral votes still are up for grabs. And polls in a number of those battleground states still appear to favor Obama.

1. Obama will win in Ohio

if the Republicans don't cheat. The Republicans will cheat in Ohio, they have already started.

2. They should know how. They did it before.

But, Obama will win the election.

3. I find it so hard to believe women are split on Romney & Obama....

I know that women in dark red states are heavily pro Romney, but fortunately, there's many more wise women in blue states. I still feel good about this election - I only am concerned about voter intimidation and suppression, and computer fraud.


GO LIBERALS! I sure hope every one of them win!
