The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows Mitt Romney attracting 49% of the vote, while President Obama earns support from 44%. Three percent (3%) prefer some other candidate, and four percent (4%) are undecided.
The numbers are similar to the 49% to 43% advantage Romney enjoys on the question of who is trusted more to handle the economy.

Boy isn’t that the truth. Romney is such a poor candidate that we have to worry about winning an easy election. Stupid GOPe and FREEPERS who support this fraud and cheerleading for Romney is disgusting.
I’m sorry but some of you are so full of crap that it’s entertaining. Yeah, we’d have a 25 point lead with Newt! Not.
Romney is in the lead. Obama sucks. We live in a country where a radical traitor, John Fing Kerry, had a credible showing against a then popular war time president in GWB.
A 5 point lead at this point is great and again, Thank God for it.
He sure is not the candidate we would have wanted but although it is easy to find fault with him personally it is equally difficult to find fault (so far) with the campaign he is running.
I have followed politics for about 40 years and his response team, ads production not to mention fund rsising is as good as any I’ve seen.
Obama’s “You didn’t build that” was the tipping point.
Romney has been surprisingly good in responding quickly to negative attacks and has handled the campaign well, (except the unforced error about the Olympics) but I don't think we've seen anything yet! Get the popcorn!
BTW, Rasmussen has the best pooling data. Some of the garbage polls to make Obama look good are finally getting called out. Earlier in the week (WSJ/ NBCS?) was so lopsided in its sampling, even Chuck Todd, the political correspondent for NBC admitted it wasn't a good poll. Then why publish it???
Obama has a MAX popular vote total of 42-43%... and that’s if everything goes perfect for him, and that’s hardly the case.
His “You didn’t build that” and “It Worked” comments have shown unequivacably, that this guys a communist in his core beliefs and unamerican to those who were giving him benefit of doubt.
I am sure there will be some fluctuation up and down as the race goes one, but Obama cannot win this election. Fight like we’re losing, but the electorate made up there minds on this guy a long time ago, he just never got the memo. That and his attempts to attack his opponent just show how out of touch he is, they harm him more than Romney because they show exactly who he is and what he believes, and its not things the overwhelming majority of americans believe.
Obama I think honestly will be lucky to get 40% on election day.
This is nice! I'd imagine this is about where you start to see the lemming effect.
Why don’t you tell us who YOU are voting for?
Until the Catholics and Christians see what Romney did in MA, this might work.
Obama has spent $100 million this year and managed to get his job approval numbers up from low 40s to high 40s. He can’t sustain anything above 50 and hasn’t been able to do so for three years. Not a good sign. Economy will get worse, not better, as we approach the election. Not a good sign. Obama is now being openly criticized by the Left. Not a good sign. He has come off his tight script and is making gaffes. Not a good sign.
Watch the trends, not the numbers of the day. Romney is trending up and Obama is trending down. The election will be close, but there is reason to be somewhat optimistic.
Neither....Just voting for the down ticket because the GOP finally crossed the line and left me behind....
There you go again. Have a great weekend.
I believe you are right. These dog days of summer usually favor democrats as most Republicans are on vacation until Labor day. But results matter, and when Obama had his own “malaise” moment it just amplified the bad economy he is responsible for.
Whatever happened to Zogby? Haven’t heard anything from/about him this year.
A 5 point lead at this point is great and again, Thank God for it.
That 5 point lead will double or triple on election day as the demoralized obamatrons will stay away from the voting booths.
“Obama’s “You didn’t build that” was the tipping point.”
Happened on Friday the 13th.
A part of me died when he said that.
I *still* can’t believe he said it.
WTH?!?
Hope you're right. Cause if for any reason Bork Obunga were to be re-elected, it's basically all over but the shouting.
If this keeps up (and I hope it does), I can’t imagine how ugly the Obama media is going to get.
Not BS, but true. Obama is despised.
BUT Mr. ROMNEYCARE WAS CAREFULLY SELECTED
by the DNC, and the MSM.
WHY?
Because:
Romney RESPRESENTS EVERYTHING
1) Americans hate
a) vulture corporatism
b) Wall St (not me, not here, but generally, this year)
c) RomneyCARE
d) anticonservatism in every way imaginable.
e - z) fill in as exercise
and 2) everything that makes the GOP moot.
a) RomneyCARE CREATOR
b) love for TAXES and TARP
c) love for RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE/DEATHPANELS
d) Global Warming Hoax addiction
e) Mexican ineligibility (Romney STILL protects his Obama)
f - z) fill in as exercise
No relenting. We’ll keep the pressure applied ;^)
Do you have any better ideas for right now? Romney is running one of the best campaigns I’ve seen in years. Like him personally or not, he is in it to win it — unlike the McCain campaign.
Looks a girl I used to know!!!!!!
LOL...literally upset at something showing bad numbers for Obama because you can’t post all of your spam you normally do and have it jive with the article.
Yep. Mark Levin was saying the other day that Reagan was behind Carter by 9 points at this point in the 1980 election.
Carter had already lost the election in ‘79.
Anyone could have beaten him without trying. His Iran and military policies made him unelectable.
Obama to to Romeny..... “YOU DIDN’T BUILD THAT LEAD, I JUST DID IT FOR YOU!”
Indeed - Romney sure wasn't my first choice. And we DO indeed have to worry about winning.
Stupid GOPe and FREEPERS who support this fraud and cheerleading for Romney is disgusting.
Whaaaa? You just said we have to worry about winning this election. Wouldn't supporting the nominee help him win it? Or do you want 0bama?
You're an idiot when you talk like this.
I’m as encouraged by Obama’s low number as much as by Romney’s lead. I’ve bought into this conventional wisdom that as an incumbent even if they were tied, Obama can’t be down in the low 40’s and expect a majority to vote for him come election day.
Obama needs to demonize Romney and I’m not so sure that’s easy to do. When I think of challengers who got ridiculed in the past, It was based on their policy gaffes or painting them as radicals. I don’t think tax returns or outsourcing some jobs are sufficient attacks.
I’m thinking of Dukakis, he was such a liberal that his attempts to sound conservative just backfired. Or McGovern was just too left wing and then he proposed giving every American $1,000. Kerry was running against a popular incumbent and had the same liberal tag. That tag works against democrats, it can’t really be an argument against a republican challenger even if you believe Romney is that liberal.
The bottom line Obama is unpopular, it’s a referendum on Obama, and unless he becomes more popular or Romney really screws up, Obama won’t convince a majority that he needs to be reelected.
Good God, to me the idea that Obama needs to be reelected is so preposterous,
Do you really think anyone from Media Matters is going to tell you who he/she/it is voting for?
You reply indicates you are probably sitting on the fence between Obama and the Communist Party candidate(one and the same).
Always more spam, but never an actual answer.
Fail.

A one-hitter who repeats the same tired mantra over and over.
It’s used to described some shrill, tired ideologue or
academic that pompously echoes some quaint notion or idea
endlessly, and expects everyone to see his supposed wisdom
and bow in concurrence.
Fine tune the scroll wheel, works like a charm :)

Why because of me? I sure as heck didn't vote for him! But since he is the nominee I will vote for him in the general and ask others to do the same.
And you call me an idiot?
Nope. I said when you talk like that you're an idiot. But it is idiotic behavior to moan about how our candidate may lose and in the very same breath talk about you hoping he loses.
You and a few others do this. Try to turn people away from our nominee - why I don't know. Something stupid to hope for an 0bama win for sure. Another so called reason to tear down our nominee is to supposedly remove any mandate? Yeah whatever - as stupid as that is, in the next post they'll worry about our nominee losing.
Please wake the heck up.
Uhhh, I think it's you who should wake up - only a sleeping dunderhead would hope for an 0bama win.
We were dished a dud.
Well frickin' DUH! So you prefer Satan himself? Yep, that's stupid.
"Hey doug, dont be a "Johnny One-Note" by posting the
identical same thing on thread after thread.
And thanks for supporting RomneyCARE, TARP, and Sharia FOR ME."
I use the Adblock Plus add-on with Firefox. That lets me block all the endlessly posted and reposted spam images so I never have to see them. Right now, I have about 80 spam images blocked. I add several more every day.
It’s a bit more work than scrolling, but it’s much more satisfying!
