Project New America poll: Obama 47, Romney 44
A poll done for Project New America has Barack Obama up on Mitt Romney 47 percent to 44 percent among likely voters.
Obama had a 50-40 edge among women, while Romney had a 48-43 advantage with men.
The survey of 500 likely Wisconsin voters was conducted Oct. 17-18 by Grove Insight using live interviews. It also included cell phone users. The margin of error was plus or minus 4.4 percentage points.
It’s the third poll in Wisconsin released in the past week that came out of the field after the second presidential debate. Obama led 51-45 in a poll from NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist and 50-48 in one from Rasmussen. The Marquette University Law School poll that had it 49-48 for Obama came out of the field before the debate.
Project New America says on its website it's a private company "that provides candidates, advocacy organizations, and civic engagement stakeholders the tools and strategies to understand and communicate with a rapidly changing America."
