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