I’m sure this will go up and down till November, with many more Obama surprises thrown in. But if these numbers actually reflect the opionons of the people, then they show that the people are not falling for Obama’s continuous, blatantly political games.

I agree with you on:

But regarding:

I don’t think 7% is a huge margin, considering how much economic trouble we are in. Unfortunately, there are not enough people paying attention. Those who are paying some attention to the coming elections get their information from the Propaganda Ministry once known as the MSM, so they will vote for the candidate the Ministry tells them to elect.

Often, I fear, we on FR do not grasp the fact that most Americans are just not paying as much attention as we are and just don’t bother to become informed unless it’s the latest about Brad and Angelina or about “American Idol”.

Very good points, both.

Of course, the left can now renew its mantra: B-B-But, Rasmussen cannot be trusted! (Never mind that Rasmussen polls likely voters, whereas most other polling organizations settle for those who are merely registered voters.)

Oh, in addition, one might want to keep in mind an important point: Dick Morris has noted (repeatedly, both in his e-newsletter and on FNC) that the Undecided vote breaks heavily against the incumbent, almost every time (with 2004 being the one exception in presidential elections analyzed since 1964). In fact, on average, the incumbent gains zero percentage points beyond what is shown in the final pre-election poll. (In other words, if, say, the incumbent shows 47 percent in his corner, with 46 percent in the challenger's corner, and the remaining 7 percent undecided, the incumbent will probably end up with about 47 percent of the total vote.)

It is something to consider...
