Voters Split?

I?m not a pollster, I don?t follow polls very closely, and I?m certainly not familiar with polling terms of art or other conventional usage. Still, I found Gallup?s recent headline rather odd, given the data it presented:

U.S. Voters Split on Obama Re-Election in 2012

Little change seen since March on this measure
by Frank Newport

PRINCETON, NJ ? U.S. registered voters remain split on whether President Obama deserves to be re-elected in 2012, with 46% saying he does and 51% saying he does not ? little changed from earlier this year.

That strikes me as rather like reporting on November 5, 2008, that ?U.S. voters were split on whether John McCain should be elected president, with 47% saying he does and 53% saying he does not ? little changed since earlier polling in this race.?
