Election Day may not be until November, but a substantial majority of voters already think they’ve learned enough about President Barack Obama and presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney, according to a new poll from Pew Research Center. 

The poll shows that 90 percent of registered voters believe they already know enough about Obama, while 69 percent  believe they all that they need to know about his Republican challenger.  Twenty-eight percent of those surveyed suggested they still need to learn more to glean a clear picture of Romney.  

Voters would like to learn more about specific parts of Romney’s background.  Forty-one percent say they would like to learn more about his record as governor of Massachusetts, while 36 percent would like to know more about Romney’s tax returns, which have been the subject of heavy scrutiny from the Obama campaign.  Only 16 percent say they want to learn more about the religious beliefs of Romney, who is a lifelong Mormon.
