SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WGGB) – A new poll out by the Western New England University shows that President Obama holds a double digit lead over former Governor Mitt Romney.
545 registered voters were contacted during the statewide polling, which was conducted in partnership with MassLive.com and The Republican from September 6 to September 13.
Of those reached, 444 people said that they would likely vote in the November election, and the results found Obama leading Romney by a margin of 60 percent to 38 percent.
“As he has in other parts of the country, President Obama may be experiencing a post-convention bounce in Massachusetts. Voter enthusiasm shows up not only in the presidential horse-race numbers, but also in his measures of job approval and favorability,” says Professor Tim Vercellotti, Western New England’s Polling Institute Director of the Polling Institute.
Results from this recent poll have a margin of error of +/- 4.6 percent.
A WNE poll conducted back in May found the gap between Obama and Romney at 22 points, with 56 percent of respondents supporting Obama and 34 percent for Romney.
When asked about the President’s job performance, 60 percent said that they approve of Obama’s work. That’s up six percentage points from a May 2012 poll.
Obama’s disapproval rate sits at 32 percent in the most recent polling, down from 36 percent in May.
The poll also found that Obama leads Romney with women voters by a two-to-one margin, 66 percent to 32 percent. Support from male voters had a closer margin, with Obama leading 53 percent to 43 percent.

Of course the No. 1 State in Welfare addicts. No 1 in failures. No. 1 in Illegals partaking in benefits paid for by taxpayers, No 1 in the Country with convicted House Speakers resulting from a one Party dictatorship, etc. etc.
duhhhhlol
MUST BE ALL THOSE EBT CARD HOLDERS WHO DON’T VOTE ANYWAYS!
Whats the breakdown of how many illegal aliens supoort obama and how many support romney? Lol. How are the numbers with the career welfare recipients?
voting just on race is ignorant
why is it mikey has no clue on anything but still comments ? no carrear welfare , get it straight . and illegals cannot vote and never have or are you not registered to vote ? and have no clue what it takes to vote ? just more lies being used by fux news and the out of touch republican
LET’S GET IT OBAMA………….
Yep more welfare people then wrking class. Thats why hes.ahead
yeah lets blame the poor and unemployed for what wall street caused , yeah thats intelligent.
Oh yea my choice is wall street or losers like you. A no brainer I vote for a loser.
if you think Romney is the cure you should look at what he did to Mass in one short term. the only way to fix the USA is to clean out the HOUSE and Congress
The Irony of weasel and mike is that southern states that vote against welfare and the like are the states most dependent on it while Massachusetts in comparison ends up paying for other states cause of relatively low rates of federal aid being used.
Reality > talking points
Chris you gotta work on your spelling. The news40 kindergarden room is down the hall. Obviously both alex and chris are unaware that obama has sued states requiring photo ID to vote, which means anyone can walk in and vote, hmm he does this after making it a violation of rights to uphold immigration and deportation laws. Very suspicious. You two need to watch some real news and take your head out of the sand. I dont fully agree with either candidate but im not gonna be ignorant to facts like others are.
lmao , that is all , lmao !!!!!
see people we need to fear the fundie of any religion !! and that includes the ring wing of the republican party !!
State ID laws are just another US constitution type test used on minority and lower class populations to prevent legal voters from getting their rights. Voting unless you’ve never done it is done by name and address and should stay as such. It’s funny that swing states are pushing for these laws and politicians pushing those laws have been caught saying that he delivered his state to mitt Romney by disenfranchising voters. If that’s what you think Jesus represents I’d check your sources.
Watching real news doesn’t consist of Fox news and rush limbaugh.
An illegal wouldn’t be on any election roll because he or she is not a legal citizen that is registered to vote. Your argument is neither valid nor is it sound.
They cant even keep track of the election roll anymore. I lived in springfield and chicopee at different points and voted and seen many people just go thru to cast a vote. And this has nothing to do with religion, im sorry that you are offended at the fact im a christian and you worship satan but we are talking about our country here, not religion or did you just run out of 99 cent words and propaganda? Vote for whoever you want, if you think a change to $4.00/gallon of gas is a better price than 4 years ago and an 8% + unemployment rate is better than 4 years ago then vote for obama. Your the self proclaimed genius here lol.
Chris i notice your sentences and ideas start falling apart once you get put in your place. Your one of those guys that start off quick but fade even quicker arent you? Lol. I dont expect you to understand that, its ok.
Your lying . I’ve been at polls in same towns and never seen it. Do you often lie to yourself or just on the Internet? Hail Satan? Black and white , angels and demons, democrats and republicans , liberals and conservatives .. It all makes sense now. Providing poor people with help is Satan and taking away help from poor people is Jesus…. Gotcha
Unless you can provide evidence of said breaking of laws what you have Is unprovable claims not based on science or statistics. AKA making sh*t up.
Where’d you study economics and business ? I’m wondering where the literature on the President controlling the prices of oil/gas is at.. Sounds like an interesting piece .. Was it in Forbes?
please
