Let's analyze the given statistics step-by-step.

### 1. Percentage Supporting Obama
- Men who support Obama: [tex]\( 42\% \)[/tex]
- Women who support Obama: [tex]\( 53\% \)[/tex]

### 2. Percentage Supporting Romney
- Men who support Romney: [tex]\( 52\% \)[/tex]
- Women who support Romney: [tex]\( 43\% \)[/tex]

Comparing the support levels for Obama and Romney across genders, we can deduce:

### Support for Obama
- A higher percentage of women ([tex]\( 53\% \)[/tex]) support Obama compared to men ([tex]\( 42\% \)[/tex]).

### Support for Romney
- A higher percentage of men ([tex]\( 52\% \)[/tex]) support Romney compared to women ([tex]\( 43\% \)[/tex]).

### Analysis of the Generalizations:
1. Women are more likely than men to support Democrats (Obama).
- This statement is correct. A higher percentage of women (53%) support Obama compared to men (42%).

2. Women are more likely than men to support Republicans (Romney).
- This statement is false. A higher percentage of men (52%) support Romney compared to women (43%).

3. Men voted in higher numbers than women.
- The provided data does not give any information about the total number of voters in each gender category, only the percentages. Thus, we cannot conclude whether men voted in higher numbers than women based solely on the percentages given.

4. Men are more likely than women to support Democrats (Obama).
- This statement is false. A lower percentage of men (42%) support Obama compared to women (53%).

### Conclusion:
The most accurate generalization based on the provided statistics is:
- Women are more likely than men to support Democrats (Obama).
