The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday shows President Obama attracting 45% of the vote, while Mitt Romney earns 45%. Four percent (4%) prefer some other candidate, and six percent (6%) are undecided.
54% still favor repeal of Obamacare. Opinion of the Suprme Court slips. And Obama's approval rating is at 48%, with 51% disapproving.
Matchup results are updated daily at 9:30 a.m. Eastern

If this is an accurate depiction of our country then we are already doomed.
Better, but tied is not good enough. And Obama’s favorability is way too high.
It has been down below 50% for a long time. And 48% loses elections.

Is Rasmussen credible?
In a re-election scenario, this is the perfect place to be at July 1st especially when no one is paying attention to the race as closely as the junkies.
The incumbent depending on big news stories to just be even with an opponent that hasnt even really unloaded their big money yet or picked a VP? Keep it that way until September.
Yes, he is very credible. And he samples likely voters, not just registered voters.
I can’t understand why half the country doesn’t wake up.
Rasmussen is arguably the MOST credible.
(yes I 100% mean that)
It’s because we have the best education system the Soviet Union could devise.
“It’s because we have the best education system the Soviet Union could devise.”
Yes. The Communist manifesto has done very well, hasn’t it. So true.
Depends on the political climate and the day - he seems to lean Left and try tomanipulate public opinion. Once the truth becomes more obvious, he generally gets closer to "accuracy". Until October, I would take his polls with a huge grain of salt. Until then, he will likely do what the Left does with economic stats - over estimate the "positive" then "adjust" towards reality once the lie has been offered. I almost expect him to preface his "adjustments" with "UNEXPECTED - Obama not as high in opinion as we thought"
If the Soviet Commissar for Education developed our education system in the old USSR, Stalin would have had him shot!
can't understand why people think polls represent more than the sample.
I wonder how many points he gets from white people who do not want to be thought of as racists? I wonder how these people will really vote when they get in the polling booth?
Half the country doesn’t wake up, doesn’t get up, doesn’t suck it up, doesn’t go to work like the other half, doesn’t pay taxes like the other half.
They roll off the couch at some point and check their mail or their inbox to see if the gubmint money has arrived.
One of these days as you go through your normal routine, try to take note of how many people you encounter who work for federal, state or local government, and also how many don’t work (or not much) but still get a check.
We are outnumbered, my FRiend. Sometimes it seems remarkable to me that we ever win an election at all.
Exactly. Romney hasn`t even been nominated or chosen a VP yet. Plus, 0bama will finally be exposed at debates when he`s forced to defend the economy, jobless rates and of course 0bamacare.
A WHOLE lot of cards will go on the table before any conclusions can be made about this race.
I read somewhere a while back that the high marks Obama still gets from African Americans skews the favorability up some
I’d like to bounce a dead cat off of Obama and Roberts, a rotten one, seasoned road kill, something that smells like their politics.
For the life of me, I can't understand why the Republicans let the Dems go on and on about the "benefits" of Obamacare without ever mentioning the drawbacks.
In the first place, this stuff about "pre-existing conditions."
Does anyone think that someone with a pre-existing horrible disease, or genetic defect, is going to be treated for free forever?
No, the Death Panels, sorry, "Independent Payment Advisory Board" will simply declare that person has a QALY deficiency, refuse to treat her and let her DIE!
For heaven's sake, Republicans, point stuff like this out. Don't let the Dems get away with their rosy-glow health care predictions.
The only way the Government will do it is RATIONING.
Conservatives in the state will not vote for 0 but are also loath to vote for Romney. Johnson or Goode on the ballot would be the perfect opportunity to cast a protest vote and allow Zero to win the state's EVs with a miniscule plurality.
A week ago, 36% said the high court was doing a good or an excellent job. That’s down to 33% today. However, the big change is a rise in negative perceptions. Today, 28% say the court is doing a poor job. That’s up 11 points over the past week.
By a 2-to-1 margin, Americans are more worried about a government that is too powerful rather than one that is too weak.
I have almost never heard anyone else describe Rasmussen as left leaning. In fact, usually people characterize him as leaning to the right.
Your description, however, fits more closely with Zogby (and his special sauce). Maybe that is whom you have in mind. I think Rasmussen has been getting more accurate in the last couple of election cycles.
It seems to me, we need to get MORE of our fellow Americans employed, and stop sending US jobs overseas.
In fact, bring US jobs back to the USA!
Now.
Well the Death Panels are the unspoken solution to the Social Security and Medicare financial crisis. On our side, only Palin has been willing (and effective) at communicating the real plan.
Most of the Rs in Washington play along with the charade while taking potshots at small aspects of the plan.
geez....man the mods would ate yer ass up 10 years ago
don't worry...I don't care...it's disingenuous but who cares right
That bump didn’t last long.
Wait till the middle class figure out they just got hosed by the ObamaTax.
It has been down below 50% for a long time. And 48% loses elections.
Particularly since historically the undecideds break in greater numbers AGAINST the incumbent. O is in trouble. The job numbers over the next 4 months are going to be devastating...
