We need a Swift-boats type or Special Ops for America PAC to get ads out with this.
Well it was 49-47 last Monday as well so maybe it ticks back to 50 tomorrow but that Independent gap is throwing me.
Good point. As far as the indys, in Ras poll they can really fluctuate big time from day to day.

I agree with you. Romney may have helped himself with Benghazi but could have really shot himself in the foot if the indecent wasn’t framed right and the media would have been up Romneys ass in a big way.He knows damn well that the media will cover up the truth on this story until after the elections.Its to easy for Mitt to look political on this.
I hope FOX keeps pounding the issue all week, its got to sink in somewhere.
In the last few weeks the Rasmussen and Gallup polls have shifted between Romney 52% and Romney 48%.
A 4% shift in a 130 million electorate represents 5 million voters.
Does anyone think that at this late stage 5 million voters, or even 1 million voters, are running around changing their mind every day? people with that mindset are the ignorant buffoons that we see on Leno’s Jaywalkers segments who don’t even vote unless it’s on the way to their tatoo parlor or SEIU meeting.
Polsters are now just covering their bets so that no matter the outcome, they can say “it was too close to call but within the margin of error” or “everything broke to so-and-so’s way in the last week”.
Simple...don’t believe the independents number.
I don’t.
Right. The fact is that an incumbent at 47% is a bad place.
Obama is polling at 46.7% in the RCP average.
That spells a sure loser.
Very Good News from Battleground , who I believe was second most accurate int 2008 and is bi partisan run by one Dem and One Rep has Romney up 52-47 link below

Whoops, wrong thread. Never mind.
Like I have said before Rasmussen is scared to death that the liberal media will not like him and therefore not mention his poll if Romney is too far ahead. Rasmussen has always been that way. He knows the race is will not be close, but does not have the nerve to say it. And this is the poll that Fox, especially loudmouth O’Reilly will be talking about today, not the Battleground Poll that says Romney in a landslide. 10 to one says O’Reilly starts off his show today saying the race is tightening and this Rasmussen Poll proves it. He’ll then parade out Karl Rove to say the race is not even close, then O’Reilly will argue with him and say if Rasmussen says it’s close, then it is.
O’Reilly is as predictable as the sun coming up.
Could be the Mourdock rape comments are causing some Indies to drift back over to the dark side.
I don’t really think that is the case, but it is at least a possibility.
It appears this is twisted due to early voting numbers and a weird independent sample.
Don’t like being below 50 though needless to say.
As mentioned up thread this was the same exact number last Monday then Romney ticked up to 50 throughout the week.
