The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows Mitt Romney attracting support from 49% of voters nationwide, while President Obama earns the vote from 47%. Two percent (2%) prefer some other candidate,...

We shall see if media "narrative" results in a dip in Team RR numbers tomorrow
I like Gallup’s numbers: R-51 / O-45..............
I’m not particularly concerned about anything the MSM says anymore.
They’ve shown themselves to be completely corrupt, and people watching the debate know what they saw.
Great! Nice to see things holding steady. I still am hoping we see Romney hit the magic 50% soon.
Nice to see that O received a negative bounce on Raz for his big “win” on Tuesday. I’m on pins and needles waiting to see what Gallup has to say today.
Gallup numbers are on a 7 day “rolling” basis, I believe.
So, any “bump” will be minimal on a day to day basis
Up one point from Wednesday is encouraging. The old numbers would be tuesday, monday, sunday. These would overlap by two wednesday, tuesday, monday. The Tue/Mon numbers would be the same. That means that the wednesday numbers did not improve the result for Obama but made them worse.
So, is it safe to assume that the Wednesday numbers were more anti-Obama?
Wednesday: 49 R, 48 O
Thurday: 49 R, 47 O
The BIGGEST SURPRISE today is that Obama is -14%
That is a huge (negative) move from yesterday. Atleast the way I read it, President Obama had a BAD polling day yesterday
Romney’s actually up 49-46 with LVs. When leaners are included it’s 49-47. That O leaner could go soft.
Bottomline: Romney is ahead in this race, without question.
And I love the media now calling it a tossup. Yet when Romney was consistently down like Obama is currently, the “race was over.”
Yes! This means Wednesday was a worse polling day for the Marxist than Sunday. As any rational person saw, Romney won in the court of public opinion.
I expect Rass to begin to move towards the rest of the polls...this is going to be a 52-48 election wtih Romney winning from 280 to 325 EVs. Lately Rass has been carrying the Prez’s water, mixing and matching data to show a horserace and sell his wares. There will plenty to be hang dog about the next few weeks, you don’t actually think that Gallup poll is going to hold. The MSM meme on election day will show it a 49-47ish tie. The MSM is having its death spasm right before our eyes, liberal commentators going all MSNBC like Soledad OBrian , Candy Crowley. Election night is going to be epic.
Woooo hooo
Two things:
1. The -14 Strong Approve/Disapprove is the lowest it’s been since Sept.
2. Ras is showing Romney’s lead among independents at 9!
It’s ‘trending’ R-R, so that’s really good.................
Waiting for Martha Raddatz and Candy Crowly to interrupt this report by Rasmussen in 3.....2........1............
Romney now holding nationally at +8 among indies. He’s +7 among Indies in new MI poll (and ZEro at 45!!) Sorry, but an incumbent does NOT make up 5 points nationally in two weeks.
I honestly don’t think it will be that close, I don’t believe OBama will get 48%.. I think he’s 42-43% tops.
Watch Rass ten days from now. If he’s still showing a 1-3 point race, that’s what it will be. His numbers have been consistent from day one. If Rass shows a 3-5 point Romney lead in ten days then break open the bubbly and put the popcorn in the micro to watch Chrissie and Rachel because it will be over. I trust Rass. I’m hoping Gallup is right but I think Rass is closer to the true numbers right now.
47%
The number that Obama cannot get over.
