Gallup tracks the 2012 presidential race and even compares it with elections dating back to 1936. In his 2008 election against John McCain, Gallup revealed that Obama won most of the votes coming from women (57 over 43 percent) and the two candidates were tied in the votes from men (50 percent each). The data was based on likely voters from Gallup's final pre-election surveys, excluding those who responded with "no opinion" and who had support for third-party candidates.

Election Day 2012 is Nov. 6. The candidates are rushing to raise their numbers before the big day and many are stating that the election results might fall in the hands of the swing states and their voting habits. Click here for more details.
