Election 2012: Obama widens lead over Romney

Most national polls have shown a tight presidential race. A Reuters/Ipsos poll on Tuesday found Obama with a 6-point edge on Romney.

The Quinnipiac poll found voters were almost evenly split on which candidate would do a better job on the economy. But 55 percent disapproved of the way Obama was handling the economy, 52 percent gave him a negative mark on healthcare and 52 percent gave him a negative grade on illegal immigration.

By a narrow margin of 47 percent to 44 percent, voters approved of Obama’s performance on foreign policy.
