Rasmussen: Obama 271, Romney 267 OCT 5, 2012 • BY JEFFREY H. ANDERSON

One month and one day before the most important presidential election in the past quarter of a century and perhaps in the past century and a quarter, Rasmussen Reports shows the race being about as even as it could possibly be. At this point, Rasmussen’s state-by-state polling shows that President Obama would win by the tally of 271 electoral votes to 267 for Mitt Romney.

All of Rasmussen’s polls in the nine key swing states have been taken in the past three weeks, although the polls have been taken at different times during that stretch. In these nine key swing states, Rasmussen’s polling shows Romney leading in Virginia (by 1 percentage point), Florida (by 2 points), Colorado (by 2 points), Iowa (by 3 points), and New Hampshire (by 3 points). Rasmussen’s polling shows Obama leading in Ohio (by 1 point), Nevada (by 2 points), Wisconsin (by 3 points), and Pennsylvania (by 12 points).

I believe that is quite a change in a short time. Guess debates make a difference don't they.

Now just swap Nevada for New Hampshire and get a 269-269 tie.

My Aunt says she’s still going to vote for Obama because he’s the better looking candidate. Uuum, whose idea again was it to allow women to vote?

The trend is our friend. Imagine if he used an equal turnout model or a 2010 model.

I’m going out on a limb...
I question Raz and his commitment to honest polling, yes, I do!
He was on BOR last night and spouted a democrat talking point about the debate down to the exact verbiage....that caused a big hmmmmmm in my mind.

I gather your aunt did not watch the debate: the ‘better looking vote’ should have been swayed to Romney (see the commentary at Hillbuzz on how bad Obama looked).

And Steely....
I just noticed it was you again with the not-so-good news....
Is this a trend? Or is this a troll?

Romney can win Ohio, Nevada & Wisconsin if his debate performance in 2 remaining debates is just a little better than Obama. That should not be difficult unless the liberal moderators go out of their way to help the radical socialist from Chicago. The unemployment number today was the October surprise.

If Obama is re-elected, the unemployment number based on current methods will be close to ZERO since no one will be actively looking for jobs.

Guys, its not going to be that close... Obama will not get above 42-43% on election day, while the EC won’t’ reflect how bad of a route he will get, due to population distribution, the idea this is going to be a few EC vote difference is just laughable.

The feeling was that if you were old enough to be drafted to fight in the nation’s wars, you should be old enough to vote for the representatives who might decide if the nation does go to war.

Mostly Pre Debate polling. Too early to be calling it based on these numbers
