If the 2012 presidential election were held today, US President Barack Obama and possible Republican nominee Mitt Romney would be all tied up at 45% each, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey.

The President, seeking a second four-year term, beats another potential GOP rival, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, by six points – 48% to 42%.

In both match-ups, seven percent (7%) like some other candidate, with three percent (3%) undecided.

When Romney is the Republican nominee, he beats Obama among unaffiliated voters 48% to 41%. But when Palin is the GOP candidate, unaffiliated voters prefer Obama by a 47% to 41% margin, Rasmussen says.

Men prefer the Republican over Obama whether it’s Romney or Palin, while women like the President better in both match-ups. Palin continues to fare more poorly among women than her male rivals.
