Don’t worry....the celebrity/gay vote will kick in here any minute and rescue obama.... In all seriousness, this is going to put some freepers over the edge, namely, the “obama can’t lose” crowd. What are they going to do if obama is still behind by 5 points come October? Start actively campaigning for obama so that they can prove to everyone just how conservative they are, because as we all know, all true conservatives advocate the defeat of Romney at all costs? This could get interesting......

How many Freepers does it take to change a light bulb?

Answer: 501

One to change the bulb and 500 to stand around and talk about how bad new bulb is gonna be.

A year ago, I would have agreed she would have wiped the floor with both the GOP field and Obama. Her decision not to run makes me wonder.

Was that poll taken before or after George Clooney’s bash? Inquiring minds want to know.

What's worse... If he gets over 50% in a 2 man race, again, he will claim a huge mandate, 2 terms in a row... He will position every GOP reticence (to approve his choices) as racist... He'll claim this is what America wanted, and the media slime will push that mantra

This is a very dangerous person... With no elections to judge him in the future, the amount of damage he could do with another 4 years is unimaginable....

And folks want to send a message... Just wow

The left will despise him no matter what (see Scott Walker). He’ll not want to piss off conservatives (see George Bush). I agree with your assessment

Get ready for Obama to play the race card again and maybe even the race/gay combination card.

Rasmussen’s final 2008 poll was spot on. Final poll result 52-46. Actual election result 53-46.

Obama performed a couple of points better on election day in swing states than he did in Rasmussen’s final polling. I’m not sure if hat was due to massive vote fraud or gotv efforts.

Ignore the polls right now, especially these tracking ones. They are all over the place. This time next week Obama will be at 50% and Romney @ 45%

I’m sure this will go up and down till November, with many more Obama surprises thrown in. But if these numbers actually reflect the opionons of the people, then they show that the people are not falling for Obama’s continuous, blatantly political games.

Very good points, both.

Of course, the left can now renew its mantra: B-B-But, Rasmussen cannot be trusted! (Never mind that Rasmussen polls likely voters, whereas most other polling organizations settle for those who are merely registered voters.)

Oh, in addition, one might want to keep in mind an important point: Dick Morris has noted (repeatedly, both in his e-newsletter and on FNC) that the Undecided vote breaks heavily against the incumbent, almost every time (with 2004 being the one exception in presidential elections analyzed since 1964). In fact, on average, the incumbent gains zero percentage points beyond what is shown in the final pre-election poll. (In other words, if, say, the incumbent shows 47 percent in his corner, with 46 percent in the challenger's corner, and the remaining 7 percent undecided, the incumbent will probably end up with about 47 percent of the total vote.)

It is something to consider...

LOL! But not too far from the truth. The MSM distorts on a level with Pyongyang.

What about PA? We recently passed a voter photo ID law so the undead in Philly will not ne able to vote this election.
