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.
The president enjoyed a bounce immediately following release of last week’s job report. However, the bounce has faded, and the race is back to where it was just before Friday’s report.

With the Undecided breaking the way they do traditionally its: Romney 51 “0” 44
Rassmussen, I trust to be as accurate as is possible. This sounds a whole lot more accurate to what I am seeing and hearing.
Still early, but here goes:
Welcome to Dumpsville Obama!
Population: You!
I, for some reason, read Maureen Dowd’s column this morning. It was interesting. She said BO was never elated by his campaigning events but had to seriously decompress after events. Like it just wears him out or something—weird.
Good.
Some encouraging news for a change.
the Rasmussen national numbers look good....much ground still needs to be made up state by state.
Me too for three reasons:
1) Likely voters not Registered Voters.
2)Its automated so you are answering to a machine not a person (some people afraid of being called racist).
3)Rasmussen was within 0.5% of the actual vote in each of the last three Presidential Races.
I fret about some of the states that are close or even an Obama lead. I mean important states to Romney, like Virginia.
Romney is even or better in most non biased polls. In 3 weeks he can spend spend spend and barry will tank like the titanic lol
All the “Battleground” polls that the Obamamedia has been throwing out there is bunk. Obama is in panic overdrive and the media know it which is why they keep trying to use fake state polling to pump Obama up.
No one cares for the Ghetto Trash occupying the White House.
Thank Virgil Goode and the idiots supporting him. A recent PPP poll has Goode getting 9% in VA.

I have never really understood the concept of this “bounce”. What the heck is this?
Does this mean that there is significant number of voters out there who make up their minds based only on what they read in the news everyday? ( Good news — vote Obama, bad news — vote Romney)?
What the heck are these people anyway?
For those of you understand polling, why is it that Rasmussen is the only polling firm with Romney even or ahead while the others have Obama ahead. I know the others over sample, but is Rasmussen doing this right or is he just as biased but in the other direction. I want to believe his numbers, but I don’t want to be duped with false hope either.
In three weeks Romney needs to start hitting. After the convention, throw all the manure he can get hold of at Odumbo.
That's pretty high #s for this point of the election...with 5% undecided...
That's what's "interesting'...the GoP RINOs have chased away most of that 4% (I would guess that probably 75-80% of that 4% are either GoP or already third-party)...and now they're having to spend gobs of advertising $, etc...to just try to nail over half of that 5% of undecideds!
If 3% of voters (60% of undecideds) meant that much to the GoP, then they should have ensured that they didn't chase away the close to 3% of voters who are abandoning Romney RINOism...
They’ll have lots of cash to do that.
Rasmussen was the subject of barbs on this site in late 2008 when he showed Obama pulling ahead of McCain and Democrats making gains in Congress. But his numbers turned out to be correct. There are plenty of days when Gallup has showed Romney up while Rasmussen shows him down.
Yet, sickenly, Fox had this if election was today:
