men are more likely than women to support

Explanation:

1. Analyze each option:

• Option 1: Women's support for Obama (53%) is higher than men's (42%), and Obama is a Democrat. So this is correct.
• Option 2: Women's support for Romney (43%) is lower than men's (52%), so this is wrong.
• Option 3: The table shows percentages, not numbers of voters, so we can't conclude about voting numbers. Wrong.
• Option 4: Men's support for Obama (42%) is lower than women's (53%), so this is wrong.

Answer:

A. Women are more likely than men to support Democrats (Obama).
