To determine the most accurate generalization based on the given table, let's analyze the percentages of support for each candidate by gender.
Here is the breakdown of support:
- 42% of men support Obama.
- 52% of men support Romney.
- 53% of women support Obama.
- 43% of women support Romney.
Now let's look at each of the statements:
1. "Women are more likely than men to support Democrats (Obama)."
- According to the table, 53% of women support Obama, while only 42% of men do. This indicates that a higher percentage of women support Obama compared to men.
2. "Women are more likely than men to support Republicans (Romney)."
- According to the table, 43% of women support Romney, while 52% of men do. This indicates that a higher percentage of men support Romney compared to women.
3. "Men voted in higher numbers than women."
- The data provided in the table only shows the percentage of support for Obama and Romney among men and women. It does not provide information about the total number of votes, hence we cannot draw this conclusion from the given data.
4. "Men are more likely than women to support Democrats (Obama)."
- According to the table, 42% of men support Obama, while 53% of women do. This indicates that a higher percentage of women support Obama compared to men.
Based on the analysis above, the most accurate generalization based on the table is:
"Women are more likely than men to support Democrats (Obama)."
