Thread: Rasmussen: Romney 47% Obama 43%

Often cited as the best polling out there, Rasmussen has Romney up 47% to Obama's 43%. 5% are undecided....and usually the undecideds will go for the challenger especially when the economy is bad.


Thursday, August 09, 2012


The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows Mitt Romney attracting support from 47% of voters nationwide, while President Obama earns the vote from 43%. Four percent (4%) prefer some other candidate, and five percent (5%) are undecided.

Following the last jobs report, consumer confidence fell to a new 2012 low yesterday and is barely above that low today. Just 24% believe the jobs market has improved over the past year, while 44% believe it has gotten worse.

Agreed. They don't really mean a lot at this point. I think polls are too heavily weighted for Democrats anyway. The more important ones will come after the debates and closer to the election. But even those, won't tell the whole story, that's for sure.
