The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows President Obama attracting support from 46% of voters nationwide, while Mitt Romney earns 44% of the vote. Four percent (4%) prefer some other candidate, and five percent (5%) are undecided…
The president is enjoying a convention bounce that has been evident in the last two nights of tracking data. He led by two just before the Republican convention, so he has already erased the modest bounce Romney received from his party’s celebration in Tampa. Perhaps more significantly, Democratic interest in the campaign has soared. For the first time, those in the president’s party are following the campaign as closely as GOP voters. Interest in a campaign is typically considered a good indicator of turnout. Platinum Members can monitor enthusiasm, demographic breakdowns and additional information from the tracking poll on a daily basis.
The president’s bounce began the night after Bill Clinton spoke to the convention and received rave reviews.

Don’t forget government employees and their families, college professors, brain-washed college students, wealthy, guilt-ridden people, OWS types and aging hippies, and reflexive ethnic voters. The dumb freeloaders can get them near the top in combination with those, and then the fraudulent voters make the difference in the tight races.
I am thinking that R&R better do something to catch on fire and it needs to happen very soon.
If this is the best Obama can do after a convention that has Chris Matthews creaming his underwear, the DNC would be better off pulling every ad and investing in CD’s to await 2014.
“i don’t know if he’s out of cash but i know this; “
Well Bloomberg says O is going to have to contribute to the current negative balance left over in Charlotte. The DNC couldn’t manage it’s money (shocking!) and the convention has left them $15 MILLION in the hole...
This is in addition to the kickoff event the DNC had to cancel due to a funding shortfall.

Here’s the bit on the convention debt
Democrats Said to End Convention $15 Million Short

bounce probably in blue states.”
Correct.
The Dem convention got ‘rave reviews’ from the liberals, but it was abortion-palooza, booing God, throwing Israel under the bus, bashing Republicans and blaming them as the scapegoat for all of Obama’s failures while making mountains of credit for taxpayer-funded bailouts like auto industry, nothing new in substance ... oh, and not a SINGLE NEW IDEA TO HELP MOVE THE ECONOMY FORWARD.
The bounce was Obama getting his true believers rallying. At 46% post-bounce ... that makes the election still a jump-ball.
“The liberal base is relatively unimportant. Obama didn’t win 2008 with the Dem base. He won with a truck load of dumbass teenagers (now unemployed) and no doubt some “first black president!” peons. Neither exists this time around.”
Yup, the Guilty White Voters who wanted to make history, plus people who saw we were in a crisis and voted “change”.
If they want to make history in 2012 it will be: “First Time a President with an Economic Record This Dreadful Got Re-elected.”
Is Romney polling ahead of Akin in MO? Maybe we will find out next week.
The kinds of people you mention are the key to Obama’s reelection. Average citizens may be too confused to stop his reelection too.
Whatever the outcome of this election, the republic is dead.
exactly! well then again who do the Dimwits think they are voting for? BO or Klintoon?
exactly!
Romney is no Scott Walker?
Well maybe that’s good-—after all, Walker found Eastwood’s appearance embarrassing, whereas Romney liked it.
As much as I like and admire what he’s done, Walker makes both Romney and Ryan look like the Charisma Twins. He would NOT make it as a Presidential candidate, and a key to that can be found in his humorless reaction to Eastwood.
I’d like to see a new Odd Couple series with Scott Walker and Newt Gingrich as Felix and Oscar.
One reason I really think we need to push the flat tax argument. Number one, there’s no moral justification for saying some income should be charged at a higher rate, if your income is already above the poverty line. The “gimme, gimme, gimme” society usually responds with saying the rich should be taxed to pay for their bennies. We need to say that we believe in equality, so everyone should pay the same tax rate. So if they want to tax the rich at 75%, everyone else has to pay the 75% rate too.
This happens because “SOME VOTERS” say they will not vote for Romney, therefore less percentage for Romney and Obama wins.
That what happens when you don’t want to defeat Obama bad enough to vote for Romney !!!
Yes, the demographics are really interesting this time around (maybe unprecedented in my lifetime), for those of us who watched closely, picked up on the selling job Obama got, and one by one, weighed all the shabby factors that went into getting him elected. No matter how much strident clamor, (and did you notice all the barely hold-backable tears?)coming from that convention,we’ve got to remember the last one, and the idiot enthusiasm, and where it came from, that pushed Obama past the finish line. There are perhaps five million or so voters completely disenchanted with him, from ALL sectors of the electorate, and they will either be sitting it out or voting for Romney this time.Either way , it works in Romney’s favor. Regardless of how strenuously the MSM manages one last desperate try, they are not going to be able to muster the same kind of top-to-bottom bias in their reporting either-—
I’ve already seen signs of this.And in the last weeks, it’s going to be fun “watching them watching us”, and a sobered look takes over their faces as it comes to realize how drained of support Obama is for purposes of re-election.
When the MSM shows up as a somewhat reluctant dance partner, the game is pretty much over.
I think ABSOLUTELY he gets no more than 45%,even with flare-ups of obvious voter fraud
they still need to go vote for other conservative candidates in other races..is there any great push to register voters and get the vote out?
Republicans don’t participate in polls because we’re never home!
Either we are at work, going to church, or participating in family functions. Since the invention of the answering machine, we are probably more inclined to monitor our in-coming calls too!
With time for family so limited, who wants to answer poll questions when we would rather spend our time with loved ones.
What has Romney said he will roll back from Dear Leader's dictatorship? How many executive orders will he repeal? I haven't heard of one...
At least, if Farkwad wins, the shooting will start, and we can make a Final Solution to the American Socialists, and an out of control federal government.
Romney wins, and the shooting will still start, but we will be stealing each other's food...
