The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows that 24% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Forty-one percent (41%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -17.
In a hypothetical Election 2012 matchup, Mitt Romney earns 48% of the vote, while President Obama attracts 44%. That's Romney's biggest advantage in over a month.

Buh bye, Buckwheat.
This is good news, but I don’t expect either Romney or Obama to lead/trail by more than 4 or 5 points (with the exception of outliers) between now and November.
it is going to be tight
What Romney needs to ask the electorate...
What would it take for you to vote against Obama?
My guess it has already happened.
I don’t really care as they are both rabid Socialists, who will continue to destroy America, but I wonder if the “never worked a day in their lives” crowd is abandoning Hussein.
Oh, wonderful! A radical Leftist liberal has a lead over a radical Leftist liberal. I can sleep tonight.
Sooner or later Obama is going to realize that reality sucks.
All Romney has to do is go attack dog on Obama and he’ll win. If he pulls a McCain and doesn’t even try, it’ll be tight.
I’m expecting a massive loss if Romney does what he did to his conservative competitors in the primary.
I hope he’s also ready to be a one termer if he wins.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.
Those who will not vote for Romney because they don’t like him or trust him are simply exercising their franchise just like anyone else.
Those who say Romney simply cannot defeat Hussein are badly misjudging the situation by my estimation.
Romney has two massive things going for him...
He’s not currently in the white house and he’s not Obama.
“All Romney has to do is go attack dog on Obama and he’ll win. If he pulls a McCain and doesn’t even try, it’ll be tight.

Didn’t he attack them relentlessly?
Obviously, Rassmussen did not poll Free Republic, or these numbers would have looked much better for Brak. :)
You know, I'd like a clarification about this too. The majority of active FR members don't give a crap how Romney's doing in the polls, etc. Yet there are two Romney poll articles in breaking news. Not only do most of us not give a crap, the continuation of active boosterism by some is beyond annoying.
The response over the last day or two to the attacks on Ann Romney show more fire in the belly than Team McQueeg showed over the whole cycle in 2008.
With 0bama trailing Romney by 5 points or 55 points it’s not a problem for the usurper . With a crony Spainish company handling the vote counting in the Nov.2012 election I see no problem for a second term ,,,,,, that is if there is actually a Nov. 2012 election at all .
Romulus must cut Obama off at the knees to overcompensate for the whack left media bias. In any case, Obama is done.
In reality I think it’s a lot more than 5 points...more like 10 points
