A new poll has showed that President Barack Obama continues to beat presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney among African American voters.
According to Politico, the NBC/WSJ poll shows that Obama has a staggering 94 percent to 0 percent
lead over Romney and his running mate Paul Ryan.
It's not just the African Americans, however. Obama's also beating Romney among Latinos, and voters under 35, and women. Romney is doing better than Obama with whites, rural voters, and seniors.
Obama and Vice President Joe Biden have a small lead over Romney over all registered voters, 48 percent to 44 percent, according to the poll. It's not significantly different than polling data from July, when Obama led Romney 49 percent to 43 percent.
The poll surveyed 1,000 registered voters between August 16 and 20 and has a margin of error of plus/minus 3.1. points. Read the rest of the poll here.
