It's a tie: 48% - 48%.
This presidential election may be one of the most anticipated yet.
The data that has been collected has proved over and over again how close this race may be.
Obama has improved his standing in the past few weeks by regaining support among women in the swing states. The gender gap — that is, the disparity between the way men and women vote — stands at historically high levels after narrowing in the early October.
Obama now leads among women by 16 points; Romney leads among men by 10.
A year ago, voters in the battlegrounds weren't particularly excited about this presidential race.
In the first Swing States Poll, in October 2011, fewer than half said they were enthusiastic about the election. That number rose only to 51% in late January, during the heat of the battle for the Republican nomination. That's 10 points lower than at that point in 2008, when there were nomination fights in both parties.
