There’s not much that the campaigns of Barack Obama and Mitt Romney agree upon these days, except for this: The 2012 presidential election remains to be won or lost in the next 16 days because neither side has been able to close the deal with voters. …
Few voters are undecided at this point, both campaigns say, and a majority of those are women, a group with which Democrats normally have a big advantage. But a number of polls since the first debate have suggested that Romney is gaining ground with female voters, particularly white suburban ones. [cont.]
