The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows President Obama earning 47% of the vote and Mitt Romney attracting 44% support. Five percent (5%) would vote for a third party candidate, while another five percent (5%) are undecided.

What gives? Romney was up by 8, in the same poll, just a week ago. I know there's still lots of time, but are our fellow Americans really this ignorant? Wow
Nah barry the kenyan is going to lose by a landslide
The volatility is amazing. Is this higher Obama support due to weekend polling? All the news has been bad for Obama. So, why the upsurge?
“I know there’s still lots of time, but are our fellow Americans really this ignorant?”
Not so much as ignorant, but unexcited about romney and his brand of “conservatism”. What you shall see more of is real conservatives dumping “romney conservatives” like lugar around the country.
That’s an 11 point net swing in a week.
Only state by state info is relevant from this point on.
Romney is a one trick pony.
He has taken many of Obama’s weaknesses and actions ‘off the table’ as issues to be discussed. His one play is that Obama is a good meaning hard working nice guy who things (the economy) just haven’t worked out for, totally different than the ABBBO club that is rallying behind him. .
This is not that surprising, last weeks NYTimes poll came out of the blue.
A lot of people don’t like Romney. I am one of them. The republican party is not, IMHO, the party of conservatives.
I cannot take Rasmussen seriously until he debugs the problem with his polling. These swings are too large.
I think it's more of a function of the media doing what they do best. They are still ALL powerful, and they sway public opinion like no other. They worked overtime to make sure the mantra is set... That Obama's evolved view is the only acceptable view...
The masses are easily swayed... Most Americans don't look past a soundbite. Are too lazy to look past the news headlines... and if the media, and Holywood say it's so, it so... to them
I say this all of the time... A rising tide lifts all boats... So, if nationally, a candidate has a 4-5 point lead, the states would follow proportionally...
Bet you all in a couple of day s Romeny will be back up.
I hear you, but historically, he's been extremely accurate... That is, if you discount his "portraitofamerica" site, where he had Bush beating Gore by 8, and look how that turned out.
I just don't get it

This is because people are finding out who romney really is. They see the many faces of romney and are hearing of how romney really got the nomination. MONEY & false promises, lies,.......he’s just like obama. Our choices right now are evil or more evil.
I posted last week that this is all media driven... there is no “profit” if one or the other candidate dominates in the poles... they must keep the appearance that this is a neck and neck horse race down to the wire, in order to maximize there viewer and readership and hence their profit.
Media, pop culture and the American education system are powerful forces in the blue corner. The baby killers and government-dependant will always vote Dem then add to that the woefully naive, the incredibly inept, the “Like, Oh My God” crowd and the increased segment of the population that can’t differentiate between voting for the President of the USA and “Text 1234 if you think Meaghan has more talent than Brandon”
So last week’s dip was just a short-term hit for gay marriage? It’s already old news that voters have forgiven him for?
