Swing State Daily Tracking: 50% Approve of Obama’s Job Performance

[Free ThinkerNY]

In the 11 swing states, the president earns 46% of the vote, and Mitt Romney is supported by 44%. Three percent (3%) are not sure, and seven percent (7%) are undecided.

In 2008, Obama won these states by a combined margin of 53% to 46%, virtually identical to his national margin.

After modest post-convention bounces for both candidates, the race is back to where it was at the beginning of the month.

When “leaners” are factored in, Obama receives 48% of the vote to Romney's 47%. Leaners are those who are initially uncommitted to the two leading candidates but lean towards one of them when asked a follow-up question.

Both candidates earn 84% support from Swing State voters in their respective parties. Romney leads by six, 43% to 37%, among voters not affiliated with either of the major parties.

Nationally, the race remains a toss-up in the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll.

The president’s Job Approval in the swing states is currently at 50%. Forty-nine percent (49%) disapprove. These figures include 29% who Strongly Approve and 41% who Strongly Disapprove.

“Three percent (3%) are not sure, and seven percent (7%) are undecided. “

What’s the difference between not sure and undecided?

Sounds like 10% brain dead to me.

Thanks for the link. Don’t know why my Google-fu was so weak as to not find that.

Which is maybe why unskewedpolls.com has Romney up by an average of 7.8%

I really am stunned. Half of Americans in the swing states think he is doing a good job?

Public schools and liberal info-tainment media (national and local—both are in the tank for Obamugabe) are doing their duty.

They must love those higher gas and food prices.
