Romney losing lead among men
By Niall Stanage - 09/11/12 08:23 PM ET

Mitt Romney’s advantage among male voters has all but disappeared since the Democratic National Convention.

The pattern will likely spell doom for Romney unless it represents an entirely transient “bump” for President Obama — which it might.

Several polls released in recent days show Obama displaying new strength among male voters. Romney needs to win the male electorate by a wide margin to overcome the chronic disadvantage the GOP faces with respect to women.

A CNN poll released Monday showed Obama moving into a small lead among men, besting Romney 48 percent to 47. The finding was especially notable because CNN, in a poll conducted about a week prior, had shown Romney holding a 12-point lead among men (55 percent to 43).

On Tuesday, an ABC News/Washington Post poll found Obama enjoying a 3-point edge among men.
