The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows Mitt Romney attracting support from 47% of voters nationwide, while President Obama earns 46% of the vote. Three percent (3%) prefer some other candidate, and five percent (5%) are undecided.

This is the first time in a week that Romney has held even a single-point advantage. See daily tracking history. Romney is now supported by 18% of white Democrats.

Yep but I will take late rather then never from them. 4 years was bad enough, 4 more we will not survive

Not that this means anything this time around but as I recall, Rasmussen was the most accurate pollster in 2008.

Yep, and he was top four or five most accurate in 2004 out of approximately 25 pollsters.

Oh boy, Dickey is never right.

I would not trust this website. The CNN/ORC poll for (n=709) Likely Voters that was released on 09/10/2012. It states that the political ID breakdown for said poll is (R/D/I) of:

34.21% (R),
43.86% (D),
09.65% (I).

The actual political ID breakdown for that CNN/ORC poll is closer to:

28.70% (R),
38.96% (D),
32.35% (I).

When an analysis site gets the basic political ID breakdown so far off, you have to question all of their derived numbers. The number of Independents the site implies was in the sample is way too low...
