The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows President Obama attracting support from 47% of voters nationwide, while Mitt Romney earns the vote from 46%. Three percent (3%) prefer some other candidate, and four percent (4%) are undecided. See daily tracking history.
Romney is supported by 86% of Republicans, while Obama gets the vote from 85% of Democrats. The GOP hopeful has a four-point edge among voters not affiliated with either major party.
When “leaners” are included, the race is tied at 48% apiece. Leaners are those who are initially uncommitted to the two leading candidates but lean towards one of them when asked a follow-up question. Beginning this Monday, October 1, Rasmussen Reports will be basing its daily updates solely upon the results including leaners.

Same here. I see lots of Obama ads and none from R/R, even though they supposedly have more money. I've donated several times to Romney; but no more. He does not appear to use the money I send him.
Thats on the low side too, from what I remember, its like 80%, or 4 to 1 that break for the incumbent. But let me check...
There is ample time. I feel much better today than I did on Monday. The polls are behind the reality of the situation — the continued MSM attempts to manufacture Romney “gaffes” are failing.
In fact, Romney is looking more and more resilient in the face of immense hostility. And his ad campaign has barely begun.
Look at the #s for seniors, all of whom vote in disproportionate numbers, with Romney leading by 20 points.
In fact, Romney is leading in every age bracket 40 years old and higher.
No wonder Obama is now attempting to get young people to sway their parents and grandparents. Won’t work.
That it’s even this close is depressing. Of course I said the same thing in 2000 and 2004.
Did you just call him a Jock Strap?
The “high interest” voters are also grouped in the 40+ brackets where Romney dominates. It’s a lot of good news.
Rasmussen must be using a bias toward democrats or he is polling very few independents then because Romney gets 1% more of party vote and +4 on independents.
If I have seen one red flag from the Romney campaign team, it was during the convention when one consultant on the team mentioned that they didn't need to tell people what Obama did because they already know. That is a paraphrase, but it scared the pants off me. You hit it on the head. The media and Obama are focused on tying anything bad to the past, and the average voter does NOT know all the facts about his record. If they don't tie his policies to the current situation, they probably can't win.
At the very least we need all conservatives to vote a new pukehead into office! Give a new one a shot!
Its because the mainstream media is not reporting anything negative about Obama. Only negatives about Romney.
2008 Obama bots are aweful quiet? Guess its a pride thing. Hope they quietely vote Romney Nov 6th!
Yeah——Rush is really bucking us up,too And it isn’t even April Fools Day. I hope to heck this is all with tongue in cheek. I am getting horrible stomach pains.
This is a disaster for Obama once you look at some of the internals. The most devastating one is Obama support among Whites at 36%... Right there the elections is over for him if this number holds on elections day. He cannot win the elections with only 36% Whites support. In fact anything less than 39% Whites support and he is going to lose the elections... Also 18% of White democrats voting for Romney is a further proof of the impending disaster for Obama... I have made an elections Prediction model based on RACE and VOTER INTENSITY and if I assume that 3% of Obama 2008 voters stay home in 2012 (democrats less energized) then all what it takes is for 9% of Obama "White Voters" from 2008 to vote for Romney and it is certain that Romney would win the elections... If 18% of democrats are voting for Romney in 2012 and suppose that half of them voted for Obama in 2008 then this means that Obama is huge trouble and going to lose if these numbers hold on November 6 2012.
Moreover based on these numbers for Romney and Obama support I calculated that Rasmussen is using D +5 in his sample...
Please see my post # 57 for more details and how some of the internals in Rasmussen poll today indicate a disaster for Obama...
