Barack Obama trails Mitt Romney 48-43 in the latest Rasmussen poll.
Rasmussen reported:
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows Mitt Romney attracting 48% of the vote, while President Obama earns 43% . Six percent (6% ) prefer some other candidate, and four percent (4% ) are undecided.
The president picks up support from just 35% of white voters overall. That’s eight points below the 43% of the white vote he won in 2008. The gender gap is now at 11 points. That’s little changed from the 12-point gap in 2008. Romney leads by 11 among men, and the candidates are even among women.
Obama’s presidential approval index slid to -22 this week.
