Obama Up 8% Over Romney

President Obama leads Mitt Romney by 8% in a new poll from the Associated Press. The new AP/GfK poll shows the incumbent President with 50% support compared to 42% for the Massachusetts millionaire.

The poll shows a virtual tie between the candidates on who is better suited to handle the economy, an issue Romney has sought to use against Obama. Obama is more trusted in the poll on taxes, social issues and leads Romney on whether he is a “strong leader” by 11%.
