The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday shows Mitt Romney attracting support from 48% of voters nationwide, while President Obama earns 44% of the vote. Three percent (3%) prefer some other candidate, and five percent (5%) are undecided.
Just prior to this past week's Republican National Convention, Romney trailed the president by two. Today’s four-point advantage confirms that the GOP hopeful has received the expected convention bounce. See daily tracking history. Romney also has gained ground in the swing state tracking results updated daily for subscribers at 10:00 a.m. Eastern.

Can't wait to see 0pansy go.
A couple more points, and I’ll be satisfied.
Would love to see Romney start cracking 50% in some polls. That would change people’s mindsets about the state of the race.
What is really good about this is that Obama is now often below even 45%. Folks, I don’t want to jinx anything, but the numbers do kinda suggest that if the undecideds break 2:1 in favor of challenger, this will be a 52-47 final split for Romney, if not a little higher.
I think he was 50 a day or so ago. I know Drudge had a poll up to that effect.
Must have missed it.
Hope to see it becoming a regular occurrence.
I agree. The higest I see Obama getting is about 47% & that’s pushing it.
Looks like Wile E. Obama finally looked at his feet and realized there is nothing holding up him up. I cannot wait for his inevitable and welcomed plunge into the abyss.
The LSM has done more to hold back black people than any other institution in this country. They promote charlatans like Obama and Sharpton and shun true leaders like Dr. Sowell and Col. West.
dem convention bounce expected???
Just like I said, 50%+ for Romney/Ryan is now in sight, and will be as such within the next few weeks. The “Obama” DNC “Freak Show” this coming week in Charlotte, NC this week will be a total failure!!!
I am hoping that the good folks in Greenville, NC turn out by the thousands tomorrow morning to greet VP cadidate Paul Ryan. A huge turnout for Ryan will embarrass the Democrat “dirt bags” in Charlotte, before their freak show convention gets underway. Go Greenvile for Romney/Ryan!!!
I don’t see how 0 gets any higher in the polls there were he is now.
Historically undecided break by at least 2:1 margin for the challenger. That split would make it Romney 53.33% to Obama's 46.67% and a solid electoral victory. However, due to the consistently low approval ratings for Obama and the state of the economy, I'm thinking Romney will do better than 2:1 on the undecideds. It could easily be Romney 55% to Obama's 45% which would result in a landslide electoral victory.
All 3 said they voted for Obama last time, and won't make that mistake again. One was going to the store to get Goo-Gone to remove his Obama sticker from his car.
We're winning, folks.
Get that chair out, and help make it a national phenomenon!
Whereas I’m very, very happy that Romney/Ryan received a good convention bounce, I honestly don’t understand how voters can have their vote decided on the basis of a convention, vs. a review of the records and issues. Say’s a lot for why we are in the position we are in.
With Sandra Fluke, Retread Clinton, and Obama? More war on wimmen, driving into the ditch, and granny cliff tossing.
The realization is sinking into the nation that we could be shut of Obama. He really does make Carter look good.
cook the books baby, cook the books. that’s how.
Mittens is in pretty good shape if you can compare this with 1980....Reagan trailed till the Sunday before the election...much easier to fudge the polls back then...only problem I see is we have a much larger welfare class now..and California and New York are gone forever I guess..
Many people simply didn’t pay attention until the conventions. Plus, some people want to hear what the parties have to offer.
