The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows Mitt Romney attracting support from 49% of voters nationwide, while President Obama earns the vote from 48%. One percent (1%) prefers some other candidate, and two percent (2%) are undecided. See daily tracking history.
Matchup results are updated daily at 9:30 a.m. Eastern (sign up for free daily e-mail update). Platinum Members can review additional information from the tracking poll on a daily basis.
These updates are based upon nightly polls and reported on a three-day rolling average basis. As a result, virtually all of the interviews for today’s debate were completed before last night’s presidential debate. It will take a few days before the impact of that debate can be measured. Heading into the first debate, the president had a two-point advantage, 49% to 47%. Following that debate, approximately two percent (2%) of voters changed their mind, and the numbers shifted to a 49% to 47% advantage for Romney. The race has remained very close for months, and even small shifts can have a significant impact.
