A new Gallup poll finds Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama statistically tied among registered voters heading into November's general election. According to Gallup, 47 percent of voters polled are backing Romney, compared to 45 percent who prefer Obama. That's well within the poll's margin of error, which is plus or minus 3 percent. While both men are doing well within their respective parties, the most notable finding came among self-described independents, a swing voting bloc that could very well determine the outcome of this fall's election. According to Gallup, Romney leads Obama among indie voters by 6 points, 45 percent to 39 percent. The survey is Gallup's first daily tracking poll of the general election. More popular Yahoo!
