The full Swing State tracking update offers Rasmussen Reader subscribers a combined view of the results from 11 key states won by President Obama in 2008 and thought to be competitive in 2012. The states collectively hold 146 Electoral College votes and include Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin. If you do not already have a Rasmussen Reader account, subscribe now.
Platinum Members have access to detailed demographic information.
In the 11 swing states, Mitt Romney earns 50% of the vote to Obama’s 46%. Two percent (2%) like another candidate in the race, and another two percent (2%) are undecided.
This is now the fourth day in a row - and the sixth time in the past seven days - that Romney has hit the 50% mark in the combined swing states. This survey is conducted on a rolling seven-day basis, and now most of the interviews for today’s update were completed after Monday night’s final presidential debate. Romney has held a modest lead for 15 of the last 18 days; Obama was ahead twice, and the candidates ran even once.
In 2008, Obama won these states by a combined margin of 53% to 46%, virtually identical to his national margin.

RE: R50, O46
Just curious... WHEN WILL THE TOTAL EVER ADD UP TO 100?
When 3rd party, fringe candidates quit screwing things up.
RE: (2%) are undecided
Maybe the other 2% will go third party... Gary Johnson is running you know...
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At and after the election, the undecided are not longer counted.
The Real Clear Politics estimate of electoral votes looks worse today for Romney. I don’t get it.
RCP is skewed and outdated and should be summarily ignored

Triple P (democratic outfit) published a poll in NC that had Obama winning NC and dropped Mitt to an average of 5.0%...RCP moved NC to a tossup and therefore affected his electoral vote margin....Nobody expects Mitt to lose NC and Obama has pulled advertising from the state.
Election day!
I assure you that ALL undecideds are have either decided NOT to vote or to vote for Romney. Everyone KNOWS IT! Especially O’Bumbler!
What’s the use of polling the Battleground States collectively? One outlier state would taint the poll.
It’s 50R, 46 Zero, 2 Johnson and 2 undecided.
I expect Johnson to be the spoiler for someone in my state of New Mexico. He on the fringes, but was pretty good governor and there are people like Jim Robinson (as in the founder of this site) and me who just can’t vote for Romney.
Wish Romney would get to at least 54%
It’s hard to see how Johnson could be a spoiler in New Mexico. Almost everyone predicts that Obama will take New Mexico. How can Johnson change that? Doesn’t Johnson get only voters that would otherwise either vote for Romney or stay home?
Praying this holds up.
At this point in the election cycle anybody who is still truly ‘undecided’ will probably not vote at all.
Though you may not be able to vote for Romney, in NM lets see if we can deny Martin Heinrich, environmental extremist and friend of eco-terrorist Dave Foreman, from getting our second US Senate seat. (The other is occupied by left-wing environmental radical Tom Udall.)
“I think small businesses are critical, but so is people’s health care. People have to have access to health care. And if that means I have to pay $1.10 for a taco instead of 99 cents, then I’m going to pay $1.10 for a taco,” Heinrich said.
I agree.
