Daily Swing State Tracking Poll Swing State Tracking: Romney 50%, Obama 46%
rasmussenreports ^ | Saturday, October 20, 2012

The full Swing State tracking update offers Rasmussen Reader subscribers a combined view of the results from 11 key states won by President Obama in 2008 and thought to be competitive in 2012. The states collectively hold 146 Electoral College votes and include Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin. If you do not already have a Rasmussen Reader account, subscribe now.

Platinum Members have access to detailed demographic information.

In the 11 swing states, Mitt Romney earns 50% of the vote to Obama’s 46%. One percent (1%) likes another candidate in the race, and three percent (3%) are undecided.

This marks the first time that Romney has hit the 50% mark in the combined swing states. Obama reached the 50% mark again on Wednesday, but Romney bounced back as responses since Tuesday’s presidential debate entered the mix. Because this survey is conducted on a rolling seven-day basis, just over half the responses in today’s update still come from before that debate. Tomorrow’s update will be the first in which the majority of the responses follow the most recent debate.

Neither endorsements, nor polls, mean Jack s#!+ right now.

Getting the right people to the voting booth, in large enough numbers to make a difference, is where our hearts and minds ought be focused.

Too bad there can't be a debate every week.

Bwahahaha... I am predicting Romney gets at least 52.5% and Obama gets 46.5% with about 1% going to Johnson or whomever. It will be at least that good. And I think we capture the Senate as well.

I met a woman at the supermarket today whose son was a high school friend of my son. He’s active duty Army and a West Point grad. As we were parting she said “please make sure you vote because if Obama wins we’re all sitting ducks”. I told her I would crawl over broken glass to vote against the s**t h**d.

Wow. You can take out MI and PA and probably gain a point in this poll. They are only must wins for O.
