This is certainly good news and what I like to see. Looks like Obama’s war on Ann Romney is backfiring!

In a presidential matchup, Romney tops Obama by 46-44 percent if the election were today….

Among the highly sought after group of independents, the poll found 43 percent back Romney and 37 percent Obama. Nearly one in four independent voters (21 percent) is undecided or won’t vote for either of the major party candidates.  Last month, independents split evenly between Obama and Romney at 40 percent each….

The poll shows the gender gap may not solely be a problem for the Republican candidate. Women are more likely to back Obama (by 49-41 percent), while men are even more likely to give their support to Romney (by 52-38 percent)….

Obama’s overall job approval rating stands at 42 percent, down from 47 percent last month. The drop comes mainly from Democrats: 80 percent approve now, down from 86 percent in March. A 51 percent majority of voters disapproves of the job Obama is doing….

The poll shows these economic issues will continue to be a challenge for Obama.

More voters think Obama’s policies have hurt (37 percent) rather than helped the economy (31 percent).

By more than two-to-one voters say the spending is out of control and the country must take action to reduce the national debt.

Most Americans — 67 percent — are unhappy with the direction of the country….

By a 7-point margin, more voters think Romney has the best experience to fix the economy (46-39 percent). Romney’s advantage widens over Obama to 41-28 percent among independents. And that advantage on handling the economy is a big boost for a candidate when over half of voters (53 percent) say the economy will be “extremely” important to their vote for president.

It’s the 64,000 dollar question. Are you better off now than you were four years ago?
