President Barack Obama leads Mitt Romney by three points in healthcare categories, but his lead has dropped drastically, according to a national survey conducted by the Pew Research Center for People and the Press.
The Pew Research Center conducted a national survey Oct. 4-7 among 1,511 adults, including 1,201 registered voters of which 1,112 were likely voters.
Forty-seven percent of respondents chose President Obama and 44 percent chose Mr. Romney when asked "who would do better on dealing with healthcare," representing a three-point lead. In a September survey, 52 percent choose President Obama and 39 percent choose Mr. Romney, representing a 13-point lead
President Obama also dropped 10 points for the question of who would do better dealing with Medicare. Forty-six percent of respondents choose President Obama and 43 percent chose Mr. Romney in the most recent survey — a 3-point lead. In September, President Obama's lead was 13 points with 51 percent selecting him as the better candidate to deal with Medicare and 38 percent choosing Mr. Romney.
