A new national poll from CNN shows President Obama with an eleven point lead on former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, 54 – 43. The lead seems to based in the fact that the candidates’ favorability ratings are going in the opposite direction, Obama with a positive 56 – 42 split while Romney is down twelve at 37 – 49.
“President Obama currently wins majority support among groups that have been problematic for him in the past, including men, older voters, and suburbanites,” says CNN Poling Director Keating Holland told their website. “He has a solid lead among independents as well.”
The TPM Poll Average has shown President Obama with a lead in a possible matchup with Romney for most of the year.
