Obama easily beating Romney among U.S. women: Reuters/Ipsos poll
By Patricia Zengerle
WASHINGTON | Tue Apr 17, 2012 1:12pm EDT
(Reuters) - American women favor Barack Obama by a 14-point margin over Mitt Romney, a Reuters/Ipsos poll showed on Tuesday, despite the recent partisan "Mommy Wars" flap over the role of women in society.
Fifty-one percent of registered women voters support the Democratic president, according to the poll, compared with 37 percent who favor Romney, the probable Republican nominee in the November 6 presidential election.
The survey was conducted Thursday through Sunday, after a Democratic cable television commentator said Romney's wife, Ann, who raised their five sons as a stay-at-home mom, cannot understand the economic challenges faced by many Americans because she has never had to hold a paying job.

There are all kinds of polls out there, but except for a single outlier, even in polls that show Obama ahead of Romney, the President is still stuck in the mid-forties -- the last place any incumbent wants to be.
Today, Gallup's daily tracking poll gives the White House and Obama's Media Palace Guards another reason to gulp:
Romney 48%
Obama 43%
More bad news for Obama is that his challenger is already romantically close to that magic 50% number.
The bad news for us is that if these polls continue to show Obama in serious trouble, the media is going to absolutely freak out and start their salting-the-earth crusade early.
