President Obama is leading Mitt Romney thanks to a bump from last Thursday's high court healthcare ruling, according to a survey released Saturday from conservative polling outlet Rasmussen.
Rasmussen's latest daily presidential tracking poll finds Obama with 46 percent support from likely voters to Romney's 44.

“Probably due to the Saudis pumping full-out to help the American president who bowed to their king.”
Makes you wonder what Obama promised them...
You’d be surprised at how many retired people have already dropped their private insurance with anticipation of ObamaCare. I know two who were republican all their lives. Something about getting old that turns some into selfish leftists. If I know two republicans who did that and a few others who are independent of democrats, how many of these people are there in the whole country?
orrection “independent or democrats”
Of course. The MSM cannot let Romney appear to be ahead for too long.
Lol, gas is $3.30 & my local (liberal) news station is acting like happy days are here again.
“Anyone who is enabling an Obama re-election, when he is on a clear path to destroy freedom and the US, is NO conservative. Period.”
I would like to see a few replies to this thread from any of the Freepers that stated they intend to stay home rather than vote for Romney. I know a lot of them said that they would do so.
I completely understand their reasons, and agree with many of them, which can be argued forever, but I think that many thousands of conservatives will also stay home.
I won’t be staying home, but I’ll be voting against both Obama and Romney. I’m done voting for liberals.
Most people only pay attention tangentially to issues.
A lot of people in the middle will just assume this means Obamacare is a good thing and obviously the “right” was wrong since a Bush appointee said it was constitutional.
Romney will have to talk that cat out of the tree....if he is even truly against it.
That is anther bad sign, Roberts has condemned us to suffer the self-destructive despotism of democracy, by destroying our Constitutional republic.
Whether we win the novemeber election or not, is now irrelevant, because there is nothing to congress from doing not only this but much worse again. We have lost the freedom to control our own actions and without that freedom no others may reasonably be said to exist.
Its time to make our exit from non-revolutionary politics for nothing less than a revolution will preserve to ourselves or our posterity liberty.

We must restore our constitution and that clearly cannot be done in Washington D.C.
That may be so, but don't get depressed over a national poll. We don't elect presidents by the general vote. We have no idea how these people were distributed geographically. It's interesting, but hardly something to worry about at this stage.
This is going to hit the 26-40 contract workers big time.
“Are you against those in support of the repeal of Obamacare?” LOL!
Of COURSE he'll get a bump. I'm surprised how small it is. Call it the "winner" effect.
It will fade quickly.
The SC decision certainly lends Obama presidential integrity. I work in an office of many libs. They are energized and excited. Before the decision, I can say that I thought Obama would lose and maybe in a big way. They thought Obamacare would go down in flames and really didn't think it made much difference who is in the White House. Their work and vote for Obama was essentially meaningless since little had changed and those things that changed were for the worse.
Now, they can say and do say, that Obama has made a difference and are excited to vote for him again.
Now the election turns from the economy to health care and will be about health care, so I think the election will be close. Romney is going to have to be a really good campaigner to win.
Those folks who believe there is a silver lining are wishful thinkers. Roberts has put Obama back on the map. It really is a shameful decision.
I’ll fret over the polls after some debates. In my opinion, Romney will have more ammo. But until the debates, I think of the undecideds, including those among us who hold Mr. Romney in ill esteem. So ... Romney must seize upon the ‘who the f**K are you, anyway?’ issue. The David Maraniss book has provided a nice stick with which to beat Zer0 with. This enigmatic fellow who has never had a private sector job in his life, with an auto-bio is filled with fantasies, and the many mysto-friends from before he became king. The point is overdue for zer0 to defend his indefensible influences. When that’s pursuded and resolved I’ll freak out at the damn polls, if need be.
“I won’t be staying home, but I’ll be voting against both Obama and Romney. I’m done voting for liberals.”
I would hope that at least those conservatives not voting for Romney will vote for their state conservative candidates needed to keep the House and regain the Senate.
