2012 U.S. Electorate Looks Like 2008

Gallup's estimates of the demographic composition of the 2012 electorate are similar to its 2008 estimates, with many changes likely reflecting changes in the larger adult population rather than differential turnout by group this year.

Overall, Americans are evenly split on who did the better job in the three debates

One of lowest heading into an election

Romney leads Obama among male likely voters by 14 points

Obama has typically received higher approval on foreign affairs than the economy

Fifty-one percent say Obama did better job, 38% say Romney

Female voters name abortion as top issue for women, men prioritize jobs

Obama down sharply among men, college grads, and Southern voters vs. 2008

Favorable ratings among registered voters are 52% Romney, 51% Obama

Ninety percent of Democrats, 8% of Republicans approve of him
