The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows Mitt Romney attracting 46% of the vote, while President Obama earns 44%. Four percent (4%) prefer some other candidate, and five percent (5%) are undecided.

While the Supreme Court declared that the president’s health care law is constitutional, they were unable to make it popular. Fifty-two percent (52%) still favor repeal of the law. That’s little changed from a week ago and little changed since the law was passed more than two years ago. However, while most voters still hope for repeal, the belief that it will happen has fallen sharply. Just 39% now believe repeal is even somewhat likely, down from 61% last week.
Ratings for the Supreme Court have slipped since the health care ruling. A week ago, 36% said the high court was doing a good or an excellent job. That’s down to 33% today. The big change is a rise in negative perceptions. Today, 28% say the court is doing a poor job. That’s up 11 points over the past week.
A growing number (56%) now believe the Justices pursue their own agenda rather than ruling on an impartial basis. Also, the number who see the Court as too liberal is up while the number who see it as too conservative is down. The Court’s ratings are slipping at a time when just 22% believe the government has the consent of the governed.
Political analyst Michael Barone writes that even though the health care law survived, the political playing field has changed. “It's not a winning issue for the incumbent.”

Purist care not for facts; it’s all about their own wittle feelings
He doesn't. Polling is naturally biased to the left and the 'rats between Memorial Day and Labor Day because it's summer and people with lives are living them outside and not staying home to answer the telephone. Nobody corrects polls for this but it does seem to happen. I'd take a guess that it's about 0-7% depending on the week and the poll. If you want "real" numbers you need to wait until after Labor Day -- but doing this poorly in the summer does not bode well for the 'rats and Big Zero's election prospects and may help explain the panicked call to large donors from Air Force One.
(No, Mr. President, the problem is not that you don't have enough money. The problem is that you don't have a clue.)
“Rasmussen. He’s pretty accurate based on past real results....”
That is who I use, because he uses likely voters, and he polls at a consistent rate across the nation. He does national polls and state polls.
Romney, because we have no spine.
Romney, because ‘None of the Above’ is not on the ballot....................
Announcer:They’re neck and neck...all the way..what a race..and its Cabbage by a head!
Romney because I am just a socialist and not a communist like Obama my twin.
Romney, because picking the lesser of two evils is just too hard....................
Re you sure it wasn’t The Corn by an ear?.....................
Sir, I nominate your posting as the “Post of the Day!” Thanks!
I wouldn't start paying attention to polls until beginning of September. That will be when the crazy season begins.
Obama’s Supreme Tax Increase to pay for his extreme ObamaCare appears to be having an impact.
A lot of Americans went on vacation this Friday to include July 4th’s holiday.
They wont be back to work until the week of July 9.
Roberts/Pelosi/Obozo probably planned the announcement of the Supreme Tax Increase to fall on the eve of a lot of vacationers.
Most people can’t remember what happened to them a few days ago, let alone a week.
What in the hell do ratings for the Supreme Court have anything to do with the price of tea in China???
They are appointed for life which means nobody is up for election or re-election. So, why all the polls and surveys???
What I'm trying to say is, who gives a cow pie?
Rasmussen’s chart shows the opposite of his writing. Teh chart shows Obama leading 46-44.
“Romney, so we can have more like John Roberts on the Supreme Court.”
No! No! We need more TRUE conservatives like George W Bush, so we can have more like John Roberts on the Supreme Court. :/
2 point lead ain’t nothing. The first recount will take care of that with newly found ballots alone. The lawyers for the socialists can handle up to a 5 point lead with multiple suits and as many recounts as it takes to get the right numbers. Of course the republicans will strongly object.
These polls are worthless. The only polls that count are the state by state polls in the states that are up for grabs.
Well, until the state polls are updated, this is all we have.
