Daily Presidential Tracking Poll (Romney +4, but 0bama approval still high @ 48%)

Rasmussen Reports ^ | 9-2-12 | Scott Rasmussen

[GR_Jr.]

he Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday shows Mitt Romney attracting support from 48% of voters nationwide, while President Obama earns 44% of the vote. Three percent (3%) prefer some other candidate, and five percent (5%) are undecided.

Just prior to this past week's Republican National Convention, Romney trailed the president by two. Today’s four-point advantage confirms that the GOP hopeful has received the expected convention bounce.

A president’s job approval rating is one of the best indicators for assessing his chances of reelection. Typically, the president’s job approval rating on Election Day will be close to the share of the vote he receives. Currently, 48% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the president's job performance. Fifty-one percent (51%) at least somewhat disapprove of the job Obama is doing (see trends).

Not much of a "bounce" for Romney. 0bama still has a high approval rating. Confirms my suspicion America is going to stick with the Marxist Kenyan Dictator because Romney is just too rich and too white for their liking. It's not hip to be white don't you know? Latino and Black is the thing to be.

[FlingWingFlyer]

As long as the Kenyan continues to “redistribute” other people’s money, his “approval” numbers will remain high. I mean, where else can you go where the government will steal money from one group of people and give it to another group of people?

[cardinal4]

I disagree, respectfully of course. People are still afraid to tell pollsters Obama sucks. How else do you explain Romney leading in the polls but 0bamugabe at 48% approval?

[veritas2002]

If 48% of people still support Obama after all he’s done and is likely to do to destroy our economy and freedoms under the Constitution, and he is re-elected, then our country deserves what it gets.

We live in a society such that if you are not personally affected, nothing matters. In that case, wait until his policies affect everyone. Let’s hope that anarachy does not result.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I believe that you’re right. I don’t think a lot of people are being straight with the pollsters. Too many people are scared to death that someone might call them a racist so they always play it safe.

[Sarah Barracuda]

I believe Obama is doing much much worse than these polls show but after people watch Obama’s America 2016 and still vote for this guy(After he’s destroyed the economy, destroyed our health care system, and destroyed traditional marriage) than I guess we deserve to live in Communism. God help us all

0bama still has a high approval rating

Disgustingly so, but does it translate to a win on Election Day?

A president’s job approval rating is one of the best indicators for assessing his chances of reelection.

(RCP avg. is 47.1% and the latest Gallup is 43%)

Romney +4, but 0bama approval still high @ 48%

All the people on welfare;
All the people on food stamps;
All the people on extended unemployment;
All the illegal aliens (some of those vote,too);
All the chronically unemployed;
All the people sitting on their porch with their hands out, palm up;
All the people "on the dole";
They approve of "O", but I can't believe they amount to 48% of "us".
Sure hope not.

[GR_Jr.]

“(RCP avg. is 47.1% and the latest Gallup is 43%)”

And Gallup has 0bama +1 over Romeny. Go figure. I mean they have 0bamam @ 43% approval, but getting 48% of the vote. Ras has 0bama approval at 48%, but the Won is only getting 44% of the vote. Sounds ass backwards to me.

[pallis]

Makes me wonder what people would do if they discovered Obama is actually a freckled faced white guy who has composited himself into a black guy. Obama is all about the art of fake.

[cmsgop]

This shows a trend, it’s the Tue-Wed numbers that will show a bounce.

All these are the same people!!!

[what's up]

Gallup polls registered voters...Rasmussen polls likely voters.

[Constitutional Patriot]

I thought his disapproval number was 48 and his approval 43.

Saw that on the the site.

[smoothsailing]

I usually take the median of Gallup and Rasmussen and go with that. It keeps me from going crazy! :)

Currently Obama’s median vote is 46% and median approval is 45.5%

>It’s not hip to be white don’t you know? Latino and Black is the thing to be.

The few times I catch a mainstream TV program that is the message I get. Absolute rubbish is what it is.

If the yoots stay home and watch their garbage TV then we may have a good chance.

[CincyRichieRich]

BS Bradley Effect...pollees still don’t want to be caught saying something negative about the black guy (caveat: he is not of slavery ancestory, nor from American heritage, not even man enough to acknowledge both sides of his family err, mixed race...which would have helped UNITE the country - of course he did that on purpose)...the polls are BS...a la 2010.

[LS]

Gallup has O's approval at a pitiful 43%.

I wouldn't worry about "convention bounces." Obama got one in 2008 because of the "newness" of a black pres., but normally those don't last at all, and especially with fewer people tuning in to all political theater, the "bounce" will be smaller---for everyone.

[EGPWS]

Just prior to this past week's Republican National Convention, Romney trailed the president by two. Today’s four-point advantage confirms that the GOP hopeful has received the expected convention bounce.

Romney will get a greater bump from the DNC than he got from the RNC.
