More swings in presidential polling

A recent CBS News/New York Times poll had Mitt Romney ahead of President Obama by 46 to 43 percent. But a Fox News poll had Obama up 46 to 39 percent. The highlight of the Fox poll was that Romney’s support among independents had dropped (though he still led Obama among this group by 5 percent). A large gender gap also was reflected in the Fox poll, with women backing Obama 55 to 33 percent, while men favored Romney 46 to 37 percent.
