According to USA Today, the Chinese website of the United States: A latest opinion poll shows that the presidential competition between current President Obama and Romney is becoming intense. Pre-election polls, which are less than two and a half months away, show that although most respondents expect Obama to ultimately win, Obama currently leads Romney with only a 47%-46% support rate.

This poll led by AP-GfK shows that nearly 58% of respondents think Obama will win the presidential election again on November 6, and only 32% think he will be defeated by Romney.

The same AP-GfK poll two months ago showed Obama leading Romney 47%-44%.

The Associated Press reported that as both Republicans and Democrats prepare for their national conventions in the next two weeks, Romney's choice of running mate Paul Ryan does not appear to have much impact on the campaign.

The Associated Press report said: It has just been a week since Romney selected his running mate Paul Ryan. Paul Ryan's support rate among middle-aged voters is 38%, while 34% are unfavorable to him. Among registered voters, Paul Ryan's approval rating is slightly better at 40% to 34%. About a quarter of voters say they don’t know anything about Paul Ryan.

The proportion of independent voters who claim not to lean toward either party is currently declining. Among these people, Romney's approval rating maintains an advantage. 41% of independent voters support Romney, while only 30% support Obama. About 21% of independent voters said they did not support any candidate.

Currently, 23% of all voters are undecided to support a candidate from either party.
