The poll of 1,475 likely voters has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.55 percentage points, the article said. The poll also asked voters whether they approved of the president's handling of the aftermath of superstorm Sandy, and nearly seven in 10 did, compared to 15% who disapproved, the article said. The two candidates were planning to spend Sunday with busy tours of crucial battleground states. President Obama was to visit New Hampshire, Florida, Ohio and Colorado, while Gov. Romney planned trips to Iowa, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia, the Journal noted.Select the service that is right for you!
