With the 2012 presidential
election only months away, Gallup’s Election 2012 Trial Heat: Obama vs. Romney
pits the two candidates in a tight race – so tight, in fact, that the two are
in a statistical tie. Registered voters were asked: “Suppose the presidential
election were held today. If
Barack Obama were the Democratic Party’s candidate and Mitt Romney were the
Republican Party’s candidate, who would you vote for Barack Obama, the Democrat
or Mitt Romney, the Republican?”
Undecided voters were asked which candidate they leaned towards, and their
responses were incorporated into the results. If the election were held today, Gallup's results (with the margin of error falling at ±3%) indicate that the result is too close to call.
