President Obama and challenger Mitt Romney are each pulling 47% nationally among likely voters in the survey, which was conducted after the second presidential debate; Obama had previously polled at 49% to Romney's 46% before the first debate. NBC notes that Obama holds a 49% to 44% lead among registered voters, which is a bigger pool, and he still leads among women, 51% to 43%. Romney, meanwhile, holds a firm lead among men, 53% to 43%. The margin of error is 3.43% among likely voters. Read These Next After girl goes overboard on cruise, 'hero' dad to the rescue. Obituary reveals teacher's same-sex marriage, and he's fired.
