I don’t trust the 47-44 independent number. According to what I’ve read that number looks suspicious.

My suspicion when all is said and done is that Romney will get 6-8% of independents.

Also, remember that Rasmussen is using a Dem +3 or Dem +4 model here. If the electorate is more Republican than that, then Romney wins going away.
