Obama and Romney tie in poll on economy
The incumbent and his all-but-certain challenger are tied at 47% apiece on handling the economy, according to the survey by ABC News and The Washington Post, although if the election were held today Obama would have a 49%-46% overall advantage.
The economy was by far the top concern among voters, with more than half of Americans saying it will be the deciding issue for them in November, pushing other concerns like health care and taxes down to single digits.
