Most of a series of new polls, including an NBC News-Wall Street Journal survey released on Thursday, show President Obama ahead of former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney by a slight margin. The NBC poll shows Obama at 49 percent, Romney at 43.
The polls all essentially tell the same story: women, blacks, and Latinos still overwhelmingly favor the president, even as the three groups have seen major job losses during his tenure. Obama leads by 12 points among female voters in the new poll, about the same margin as he won that demographic with in 2008. And he is collecting about 90 percent of the black vote and two thirds of the Latino vote, just as in 2008.
