JUST 48 hours before Election Day, the presidential race for the White House is tied, with both President Barack Obama and his Republican challenger, Mitt Romney, receiving 48-percent support among likely votes, a new poll has found.
The latest ABC News/Washington Post survey also showed today that even independents, whose decision can push one of the candidates over the top, are now evenly divided: 46 percent favor Obama and 46 percent Romney.
Even the candidates' likability ratings, where the president used to lead by a wide margin, have practically evened out. Fifty-four percent of likely voters now express a favorable opinion of Obama while 53 percent do the same about Romney.
But the candidate, according to the poll, fare differently among various social and ethnic groups.
Obama, for example, leads among women by a margin of six percent while Romney leads among men by seven percent.
Whites favor Romney by a margin of 20 percent, but Obama leads by a 59-percent margin among nonwhites.
Like in the 2008 election, young adults favor Obama by a 25-percent margin while seniors prefer Romney by 12 percent.
And Romney practically owns evangelical white Protestants: he leads by a 70-percent among this group.
The survey had a margin of sampling error of plus or minus three percentage points.
