But Obama is unable to clear 50%, managing a relatively modest 9 point lead over Pawlenty (49% versus 40%) and 7 points over Romney (47% versus 40%). The President’s lead over Pawlenty is outside the conventional range of sampling error of +/-3.6 but within the more cautious sampling error of +/-5.1; his lead over Romney is within sampling error as defined by both measures.enPresident Obamapresidential matchupReport
