Final Purple Poll: Obama 47 Romney 46; Swing States: Obama 48 Romney 46
For our final PurplePoll, we looked at voters nationwide and in the Purple Electorate. With just four days to go until the election, President Obama leads Governor Romney 47% to 46% nationally. In Purple States, Obama leads by two: 48% to 46%.
Romney holds a slight lead among independents nationally, 44% to 43%. In Purple States, Obama holds a 1-point advantage among independents (45% to 44%). As we have seen before, views about the direction of the economy remain the strongest predictor of vote choice: President Obama gets 93% of voters who think the economy is getting better, while Governor Romney has 90% of voters who think it is getting worse.
