A new poll shows President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney possibly headed for a photo finish in Florida this November.
Forty-four percent of 1,169 Florida voters surveyed by Quinnipiac University between April 25 and May 1 said they'd vote for Romney if the election were now, compared to 43 percent who said they prefer the president. The latest snapshot of voter preferences has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.9 percentage points. The latest figures were encouraging for Romney, who trailed Obama by 7 percentage points among Florida voters in late March.
Quinnipiac also showed Obama and Romney within the margin of error in Ohio while the president was favored by 47 percent to 39 percent among Pennsylvania voters.
