A new poll conducted by the Washington Post and ABC say President Obama and his presumed Republican challenger are split when it comes to voters preference as to how to tackle the economy.

According to a report by NPR, 47 percent of voters preferred Obama and 47 percent of voters preferred the former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, widely expected to clinch the nomination.  However, the poll notes that 49 percent of voters prefer Obama compared to 46 percent with Romney.

The economy will be the biggest issue in many voters opinions, with 52 percent of them saying it will be the biggest factor this election.

What do you think? How should the economy be fixed? Is there a preferred candidate you have when it comes to dealing with the economy?
