Rasmussen: Daily Presidential Tracking Poll (Romney 48 Obama 44 | Intensity Index -17)
Rasmussen Reports ^ | 07/28/2012 | Scott Rasmussen

Posted on 07/28/2012 7:14:41 AM PDT by nhwingut

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows Mitt Romney attracting 48% of the vote, while President Obama earns support from 44%. Four percent (4%) prefer some other candidate, and four percent (4%) are undecided.

Romney’s has lead by four or five points for three consecutive days. That’s the largest advantage enjoyed by either candidate in over a month. As with any such change in the race, it remains to be seen whether it marks a lasting shift or is merely statistical noise. See tracking history.

OK, I’ll be the idiot.
What is an intensity index?

The Moron-in-Chief appears to be “cemented” at 44%. When you add voter turnout intensity, I would not be shocked to see a final vote this November that looked something like 54-45 or 54.5-44 Romney.

Is this one point improvement by Obama a blip on the screen - just a statistical jump - a real trend - or Rasmussen playing his games to make a blow up into a horse race.
Remember Obama is NOT winning any group he lost in 2008. He is NOT doing better with any group he did win (not even Blacks) and now Rasmussen is saying the gender gap has shrunk to 2 points. This adds up to just a four point lead for Romney?

What the “big picture” of this poll, and I’m sure a continuing series of ongoing polls indicates is that Obama has suffered
a lot of attrition among new or old voters who were “excited” by his prospects the first time around, the reasons for this being obvious. “Interested” voters, “registered” voters are showing the corresponding “enthusiasm” for Romney’s candidacy, not exactly on the same level that the ‘08 voters for Obama shown (it doesn’t NEED to happen that way)-—it’s just that
Obama has lost all that enthusiasm, confidence and excitement among large sectors of the people who voted for him the first time. SOME of these people will STILL vote for him, but “without” enthusiam ( this implies that they will vote for him because their perception of Romney has been worked on to the degree that they’ve come to see him as “dangerous”), and some will just hang back and not vote for anyone, merely because they aren’t about to subject themselves to the same kind of delusionary “hopefullness” that Obama engendered the first time around.

Nope, write in and third party candidates will pull in 3%. Hopefully the Libertarian won't screw this up.

Good question. I don't understand his latest Wisconsin poll showing Obama leading, when they just reaffirmed for a fifth time that they meant to throw out the Democrats. I also don't understand the states that are going Republican in the Senate but still show Obama beating Romney. Gotta be games with the numbers to hold off on forcing the MSM to report a blowout for as long as possible.

The WI poll is +3 Zero. Well, last time it was +1 Mitt. So it's fluctuating at a dead heat within the MOE.

As for Senate races, there is a lot at stake where you have a few incumbents who are popular (Casey) or long-time or, as in OH, a very unpopular D in Brown but a pretty unknown R in Josh Mandel. Over the campaign, Mandel will be more known by the voters and I don't see how he fails to catch Brown who is stuck in the low 40s.

To be at -17 on the weekend implies things are going to get much worse come Mon and Tue. Assuming you mean the daily approval poll.

As he is marching off to the moving van. Never happen until the GOP-e grows a spine, sprouts gonads. Mark Levin last week was bringing up some of Obozo's IMPEACHABLE offenses - the rest of the am talkers, not so much as an utterence of the "I" word - the first black President ya know.

I certainly did not vote for Obama and I pretty well had him pegged as the Marxist that he is when the election rolled around in 2008.

In trying to see some type of silver lining in the ominous cloud of his election, I at least hoped that his election would move us past finding and screaming about the racial element of EVERY STINKING ISSUE THAT COMES ALONG.

Sadly, Obama intentionally made things far, far worse. Most blacks just seem to refuse to move along, prodded along by their “leaders”. I have now been convinced that most blacks will accept NOTHING to move beyond race. We have all but given our country away trying. So in my mind, it is time to end the effort and start reversing the endless programs, preferences and set-asides put in place ostensibly to right past wrongs. If nothing will ever measure up, why maintain the effort? They have squandered the patient spirit of compassion and honorable intent in this man, and likely among millions of others. As a result, my gut reaction anymore to one crying racism has come to be contempt. For a long, long time that was not the case. With much sadness, I have turned to another page. I doubt anyone will be worse off for it.

Along with Holder, Jarret, and Axelrod. Let’s throw in most of the Congresscritters too.
