Poll: Obama Holds 22 Point Lead Among Union Workers

President Barack Obama holds a significant lead over Mitt Romney among those who identify themselves as union members, according to a new Gallup poll.

The poll found that 57 percent of those who identify themselves as union members would back the President while just 35 percent would favor Romney. Among those who are not in unions, Romney holds a slim 44 to 48 percent lead.

The poll also looked directly at union members who identified themselves government workers, a demographic that has been under close scrutiny surrounding the Wisconsin recall vote. Obama leads Romney among unionized state government employees 62 to 29 percent and unionized local government workers 58 to 37 percent.

In Wisconsin, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, a Democrat, secured support from 62 percent of the state?s Union workforce, according to an exit poll conducted by ABC News, well ahead of Republican Scott Walker?s 38 percent.

The Gallup poll was conducted between April 11^th and June 5^th among 13,376 employed, registered voters.
