President Barack Obama leads Mitt Romney by 12 points in Pennsylvania, according to a new poll released Wednesday.
The latest Franklin & Marshall College Poll shows Obama leading Romney among registered voters, 48 percent to 36 percent. Obama has led Romney in every Franklin & Marshall poll of Pennsylvania since August of 2011 and the presidents lead in the current survey represents a bump since the Lancaster, Pa.-based colleges February poll, which showed Obama with an 8-point lead over Romney in the Keystone State. The president is bolstered in the latest poll by robust support from minority and women voters in Pennsylvania, as well as a decidedly stronger favorability rating than Romney.
