Fox released a new poll about the state of the presidential race today. I've excerpted some of the highlights. Hop over the orange squiggle for views on Romney and Obama according to the Fox poll.
These are just some of the results that I found relevant or interesting from the poll Fox News released today.
Obama leads among women (by 14%), those under age 30 (by 25%), and independents (by 5%).
Other results, condensed and expressed as a percentage of the differential between the candidates on selected questions, are below.

Romney +25
People seem to have a solid grasp of Romney's qualifications and aims. He will gut spending for badly needed social programs for average Americans, but knows how to take advantage of the system to enrich himself. So Romney excels in cruelty and greed.
On pretty much every other issue - competence, morality, intelligence, support for education, health care, etc. - Obama runs the table.
Thanks for reporting, Fox, it looks like, despite your ceaseless anti-Obama propaganda, the people have decided he's the vastly superior candidate.
