President Obama holds slim but clear lead in our final poll, 50.3% to 48.7%, or 1.6 percentage points, with just 1% preferring other candidates. Romney runs behind in all age groups, except for those over 65, in which he has a 53%-46% edge. The results also show a pronounced gender split, with men favoring Romney 54%-46%, while women preferred Obama 55%-44%. But even among women there was a gap, with married women handing Romney a 6-point advantage, while unmarried women opted for Obama by a substantial 29 points. And even though Romney holds a 6-point lead among independents, Obama's 86-point advantage among Democrats -- who outnumber Republicans in registration -- gives him the overall lead.

At the Jewish Journal, Shmuel Rosner takes me to task for "manipulating the facts" in a post I wrote yesterday about the Investors Business Daily/Christian Science Monitor/TIPP poll of the presidential race. What facts did I "manipulate"? Just this: I reported that the poll's breakdown of voters by religion showed President Obama leading Mitt Romney by a 59-35 percent margin with 6 percent undecided. But Rosner doesn't say I falsified the numbers. His criticism is that I didn't ignore them.
