The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 24% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Forty-three percent (43%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -19.
In a hypothetical Election 2012 matchup, presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney earns 47% of the vote, while President Obama attracts support from 44%. Matchup results are updated daily at 9:30 a.m. Eastern.

I like it!
0bama is relying on Voter Fraud and the MSM to save his sorry azz.
Don’t care for Romney but care even less for Obama.
This is when the skinny little race pimp can be dangerous. All is likely lost for a second term, he knows it, we know it - a truly cornered rat.
I like those numbers. However, Intrade has obama at 59%.
Has ‘Intrade’ projected past elections?
I been following Intrade for a few years now and one thing I've noticed is that it's not very good at predicting events this far out in advance with volume being so low.
I really fear vote fraud on a grand scale this time. I think Obama and his campaign strategists consider it mandatory for them to win. The fanatical objection of the the Thugocrats to any form of voter ID indicates its importance to them. And that’s just one type of vote fraud. Additional ballots mysteriously appearing is another.

You’re exactly right. It’s beyond disgusting.

Yes, the Dimocraps have always been famous for vote fraud, and this year they will pull out any and all stops to keep the Commie afloat.
The sad problem is that nothing is done to prevent it, and
worse, the Dims actually encourage it by fighting voter ID
and poll watching by anyone other then ACORN types and union thugs.
Vote fraud only works if it’s really, really close. This is Carter versus Reagan (strike me dead) - I don’t think it will be close at all which is fortunate for Romney- he really lucked out that Obama is so extremely incompetent and he assumed a mandate to “fundamentally transform America” (whatever that means)
You don’t think there will be enough voter fraud to save 0bama? I hope you’re right.
This is when the skinny little race pimp can be dangerous. All is likely lost for a second term, he knows it, we know it - a truly cornered rat.
You’re exactly right. He’ll do as much damage as he can while he’s on his way out.
If/when he loses, it will be a very dangerous time from Nov. 7 to Jan 19.
But like Stalin said its not who vote that counts but who counts the vote.
Obama has been upside down in this tracking poll since 6/30/09. He was +1 on 6/29/09. Ever since, he’s been in the negatives.
Upside down for nearly 3 years now.
He was @ 62% last week the drop is starting.
There is one thing we see from these Rassmussen numbers. Obummer has been in a rut for a long time. His numbers put him in worse shape than Bush I or Carter at this point. He is in real trouble for getting a second term and the Regime knows it.
“Vote fraud only works if its really, really close......”
___________________________________________________________
I don’t think it will be close either. I base this on the following:
1. Obama has lost the independent vote and his doubling down on liberal issues will make it even worse.
2. His war on women has backfired and he will not get the women’s vote.
3. Back in 2008, there were around 10% republicans who voted for O, probably of guilt and to show their liberal friends they weren’t racist. That will not happen this time around.
4. I think the youth vote is up for grabs. The youth voted for O in 2008 but with unemployment in this age group so high, they will be cool to him in ‘12. Lets assume he wins this group.
5. O will win the black vote.
6. No enthusiasm. In 2008, there was A LOT of enthusiasm for Obama and that drove a high turnout for him. Today, there is NO enthusiasm for him. Even if Obama wins the youth and black vote, there will be low turnout for him this time.
7. He will win the union vote but that is a given for dem politicans. Actually, I have run into more and more union people who will not vote for him this time.
8. Lastly, Obama has lost the the manufactured “magic”. When he travels and speaks, it is to smaller empty auditoriums. Can you imagine him on the campaign stump in August-October?? In 2008, he was drawing Tens of thousands. This time, he will draw only thousands in dem friendly areas. Remember that Biden got booed in a St. Pat’s parade in Pittsburgh when he got away from the beginning of the parade where the unions were.
Voter fraud only works in close elections. Based on the above, Romney should be 5-10 points ahead in states races, making vote fraud not effective.
Obama hasn’t even begun to spend money yet.
A liberal like Romney with his record of flip-flops doesn’t stand a chance.
He’ll be licking obama’s boots just like lap-dog mccain was in 2008
He has his hand on the freakin’ black box. Can’t these pollsters lie to him so that he doesn’t get crazy? If they won’t, then perhaps those polled should. Everyone, if a pollster calls, say you strongly approve of BHO and think he’s doing a peachy keen job. Use that phrase, so that those that know will know that the poll has been tampered with.
If it's not close, they can't cheat. Think a Reaganesque landslide.
North Korea is out because the Chicoms might lob nukes into DC or Kenya and hit him and his family.
So if I had some money, I would bet Iran gets smashed in late September so he can take the economy off the table and run as a Hero in September - October.
Please, America give this punk the boot. Then probably give Romney the boot in another four years...
All we are saying is give conservatism a chance.
But like Stalin said its not who vote that counts but who counts the vote
And I think a Soros owned company in Spain is going to count our votes. Unbelievable!
Revelation 12:12
Can you “short” on Intrade?
Honest question -
what, really, can a “poll watcher” do to prevent fraud?
And even if they document blatant fraud, has any such documentation EVER overturned an election?
Vote fraud only works if its really, really close......

Good analysis and perspective, TMA62.
Yeah, look at what the ‘rat congress did in the lame duck session after the 2010 elections.

I don’t think its close at all.
I’m thinking Romney will take 45 to 47 states as long as they don’t start a war.
I think he doesn't want it. He wants what Bubba wanted -- President of the UN. But he does want this final year of his admin to be memorable.
>>I dont think it will be close either. I base this on the following:
Me too.
Most blacks are NOT enthusiastic about voting Obama. Almost NO ONE but the craziest liberal is enthusiastic about Obama. The same could be said about Romney, but there are people enthusiastic about voting Obama’s ass out of office any way they can. I’m guessing 5-10% margin of victory for the Republican nominee.
Obama’s got his resume in for the position of AC, to be sure.
I wouldnt be so sure , I saw voter fraud on a massive scale in the 2008 elections and it all was going down with protection from the local police. “Early voting” can bring in millions of votes, thousands bussed in to vote multiple times a day over a period of weeks . All the votes get sent to democrat controlled County Recorders Offices , 99% black, 100% democrat managed by appointed officials in all the “blue” counties. Saw it with my own lying eyes, I told Breitbart about it
Voter fraud is the only thing that would put him within three points ....bullshit!
I hope you’re right. NO ROMNEY, NO WAY
at least once can see that Mittens is the non-Communist on the ballot for Prez.

Exactly, but still, NO ROMNEY NO WAY
Thanks for posting...this used to be a daily post. Whatever happened to the gang of Rasmussen posters??
Big time..."independents" are uninterested in his fake smile this time around.
2. His war on women has backfired and he will not get the womens vote.
I disagree. Single women will vote en masse for this idiot...he is a sugar daddy for many of them.
3. Back in 2008, there were around 10% republicans who voted for O, probably of guilt and to show their liberal friends they werent racist. That will not happen this time around.
Absolutely....at least this is true: more Democrats will vote Republican than vice-versa.
4. I think the youth vote is up for grabs. The youth voted for O in 2008 but with unemployment in this age group so high, they will be cool to him in 12. Lets assume he wins this group.
I agree...Rush Limbaugh just noted a study that younger voters are moving faster toward the Republican party...Obama is the William Hung of politics:

He was amusing, made you feel good and was so self assured...but got old REAL REAL quick.
5. O will win the black vote.
Huge. They are in the tank, sadly.
6. No enthusiasm. In 2008, there was A LOT of enthusiasm for Obama and that drove a high turnout for him. Today, there is NO enthusiasm for him. Even if Obama wins the youth and black vote, there will be low turnout for him this time.
Enthusiasm is indeed weak...the national and local news media are soooo excited when this clown does something. Few others care.
7. He will win the union vote but that is a given for dem politicans. Actually, I have run into more and more union people who will not vote for him this time.
Yes, he'll win it...but not by as big a margin as last time.
8. Lastly, Obama has lost the the manufactured magic. When he travels and speaks, it is to smaller empty auditoriums. Can you imagine him on the campaign stump in August-October?? In 2008, he was drawing Tens of thousands. This time, he will draw only thousands in dem friendly areas. Remember that Biden got booed in a St. Pats parade in Pittsburgh when he got away from the beginning of the parade where the unions were.
Good point. Limbaugh pointed out Obama was in a 9,000 seat auditorium today--when the last time he campaigned there was a 22,000 seat auditorium. He is a yawning bore.
I was in McDonalds with my kids one day, and an older gentleman was mopping the floor, emptying the trash, etc.
He told us some jokes and went on about his business. We took a bit longer than usual to eat and get ready to go, and the man made it around again. He told the same jokes. We laughed politely and got out before he got around again.
Obama... you’re “that guy”.
SINGLE/DIVORCED women will always overwhelmingly vote for the socialist that promises to be the de facto father/husband without the “downsides” of having an actual man around.
Married women/mothers will vote for family autonomy, ie, against the socialist.
:: I have run into more and more union people who will not vote for him this time. ::
Oh, they’ll vote for Obamugabe this time. Whether they know it or not, the union will make sure of it.
For those doubters out there,remember this...if you don't vote for the "lesser of two evils" (yes,Romney qualifies for that title) we....YOU...will certainly get the GREATER of two evils (guess who).
Excellent observation. Obama must fire up his base, and to do so he alienates independents.
2. His war on women has backfired and he will not get the womens vote.
Partially correct. Obama will lose married women, but likely keep single women, but not in 2008 numbers.
3. Back in 2008, there were around 10% republicans who voted for O, probably of guilt and to show their liberal friends they werent racist. That will not happen this time around.
100% accurate.
6. No enthusiasm. In 2008, there was A LOT of enthusiasm for Obama and that drove a high turnout for him. Today, there is NO enthusiasm for him. Even if Obama wins the youth and black vote, there will be low turnout for him this time.
This is the single biggest threat to Obama. Blacks and youth have never voted in large numbers. In 2008 they did. The youth vote will stay home this election, and honestly, the black turnout will be much lower. The historic election was 2008, not 2012.
7. He will win the union vote but that is a given for dem politicans. Actually, I have run into more and more union people who will not vote for him this time.
I think he will lose the traditional blue-collar union vote outside of GM and Chrysler UAW members. The economy is a disaster.
8. Lastly, Obama has lost the the manufactured magic. When he travels and speaks, it is to smaller empty auditoriums. Can you imagine him on the campaign stump in August-October?? In 2008, he was drawing Tens of thousands. This time, he will draw only thousands in dem friendly areas.
A great point, and something to keep an eye out for. Look for the lie by omission, that is the MSM not showing crowd shots, or only crowd shots in certain cities and not including them at other events.
However, looking at Rasmussen's latest poll, Obama is still holding near 50% in approval.
Obama's highest Total Disapprove was 58%. Today it is 53%. A 5% improvement.
Obama's highest Strong Disapprove was 47%. Today it is 41% A 6% improvement.
Obama's lowest Total Approve was 41%. Today it is 46%. A 5% improvement.
Obama's lowest Strong Approve was 18%. Today it is at 23%. A 5% improvement.
We need a 5% swing back towards historic Obama approval lows. I think we will see that by August.
Gasoline prices are trending back down over the last two weeks, but I think Obama's approval will decline due to the stagnant economy. Call it "Obama Fatigue".
We are already seeing former supporters abandon Obama, and Democrat politicians distancing themselves from Obama, and in the case of Joe Manchin (D-WV), throwing Obama under the bus.
I also believe there will be an increase in the unemployment rate and potentially a double-dip recession in the next few months.
The wild cards are the SCOTUS decision on ObamaCare and Iran. I think if any part of ObamaCare is overturned, it will paint a big "L" on Obama's forehead. He will be seen as a loser. Iran's actions could cause another spike in oil prices.
Expect this “jus’ dis” department to “disallow” all the remaining voter I.D. and other election integrity laws of every state right before the election.
I’m not kidding.
