Romney Support From Men Shrinks

While Obama gains in favorability ratings.

More bad news for Mitt Romney this week. Several polls released in recent days have shown that the Republican presidential candidate is losing support among men. A CNN poll released Monday showed President Obama having a 1-point lead among men, while on Tuesday, an ABC News/Washington Post poll had Obama leading by 3 points among men and a Public Policy Polling survey on Tuesday had him in the lead by 1 point. Republican strategist Dan Judy admitted that “it’s definitely a concern” since “men, especially white men, are a core constituency for Republicans, especially in swing states.” Meanwhile, a CNN poll released Tuesday showed most voters think Obama will have an advantage in the three debates, while the president’s approval rating climbed to 51 percent.
