Well, at least he is still below the magic 50%.

Wow.

Half the country likes being poor or welcomes the idea.

If you would have told me four years ago Obama would have been this overtly bad and still have nearly 50% support I would have doubted it could be possible.

Please calm down folks... There is zero reason to panic here what so over... This poll is still well within the margin of error so Obama lead is insignificant... In fact Rasmussen for the last two months have been showing Romney leading withing the margin of error, then few days after that Romney and Obama tie, then few days after Obama leading within the margin of error... Then this same cycle repeats again, and again, and again...

PS: Based on detailed information published yesterday on FR on the Rasmussen internals where Obama was 48% Romney 47% and Romney leads 4% among independents, I did the calculations and it shows that Rasmussen is using democrats + 5 over Republicans in his sample... To be more exact it is 37% democrats, 32% Republicans, and 31% Independents...
