The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday shows President Obama attracting support from 49% of voters nationwide, while Mitt Romney earns 45% of the vote. Three percent (3%) prefer some other candidate, and three percent (3%) are undecided.

This is the president’s biggest lead over Romney among Likely Voters since March 17. See daily tracking history. Obama’s convention bounce is evident both in the head-to-head numbers with Romney and in his Job Approval ratings (see below).
The president has made significant gains among voters aged 40-64. Platinum Members can see demographic breakdowns and additional information from the tracking poll on a daily basis.
The president’s bounce began the night after Bill Clinton spoke to the convention and received rave reviews. Sixty-six percent (66%) of voters nationwide have a favorable opinion of the former president. Democrats overwhelmingly believe Clinton and Obama have similar views on how to fix the economy, but few Republicans and unaffiliated voters share that assessment. Among all voters, 59% see Clinton as a better president, while 19% prefer Obama. Democrats are evenly divided. (see the rest at link)

WHY has that Youtube video been flagged as “potentially offensive or inappropriate”???
Hey, people, come in off the ledge - as someone on another thread advised. Remember that the lamestream media hyped this convention to the hilt, acting like it was a reincarnation of the Messiah’s 2008 convention, when clearly it was not. So, I don’t think these polls reflect anything more than the hype of Bill Clinton’s nominating speech.
The lamestream media wins elections for the Communist Democrat Party even when public sentiment is nowhere near enough to elect a dangerous man like Barack Hussein Obama. Polls show only 20 percent, while 41 percent are conservatives. This, too, shall pass. Romney needs to get his ass in gear and go on the attack.
I keep hoping that the debate that Obama has with Romney will help Romney a lot, the problem is, all of the moderators of the debate are Obama lovers. Even if Romney wins the debate the media will say that Obama won and the drones sitting at home who cannot think for themselves will say “I guess Obama did win that debate” so its stacked against Romney no matter what.
I do think these polls are BS, I had read last week Romney leading by 12 with Independent voters, up 10 with whites, and closing the game with women. Also saw polls which showed that the majority of Americans believe that we are NOT better off than we were 4 years ago but Im supposed to believe that somehow with ALL of that Obama is leading..NO WAY!! Either people are deliberately lying to these pollsters due to fear(Since these pollsters have their name and address) or something else is going on. How can someone say that the economy sucks, the job market sucks, we are worse off than 4 years ago but yeah “I’ll still vote for Obama” there is NO WAY that is even possible
I disagree, it will be far worse for conservatism if Romney loses. If Romney loses I predict the GOP 2016 candidate will be to the left of Romney, even if it Palin. Why?
Obamacare will by solidified as part of the American fabric by 2016. In fact I fully expect the dem candidate in 2016 wil run on repealing and replacing obamacare.....with single payer
Amnesty will happen forcing the GOP to pander to 12 million Hispanic voters.
The SCOTUS will hand down a Roe type ruling on gay marriage. Gay marriage will have well over 50% support by 2016 if this happens. The GOP will remove language from their platform defining marriage as one man one woman.
If Obama wins its game over. The GOP, even if it’s Palin, Walker or whomever will not only be left of Romney 2012, tthey’ll be to the left of gore 2000.
Conservatives are deeply concerned and rightly so. The Dems got a 7-9 point swing from their convention despite the fact it was unabashed leftism on display. It’s is very disheartening to think what that means about our fellow Americans. It means the majority of Americans want to throw away what has worked for the past 230 years and replace it with socialism and tyranny.
Maybe Romney bounces back. But this is in essence what the so called permanent democratic majority would look like. A party impervious to recessions or scandal. A party that is not rebuked for its blatant anti American Exceptionalism.
You are the one having the meltdown, not I.
When the numbers go back to where they were then you can go back to not falling to pieces.
Our “suggestions” never include free food/gas/rent/medical care, fluffy pink clouds, flying purple unicorns, sparkly rainbows or idiotic utopian fantasies.
Won’t work.
Reality is anathema to them.
Hyperbole, and strawman arguments...say are you a liberal?
I’m thinking street signs, myself...LOL
“Horse ka ka...gotta be pubbies hanging up on pollsters”
I hope you’re right, but I think it’s wishful thinking. But if that is the case, pubs need to answer the stupid questions so we can get our boy ahead. Too many idiots shape their opinions by who is ahead.
Because truth is offensive to liars?
This stuff has been posted on and pulled from YouTube so many times since late 2007, it’s not even funny.
It keeps coming back, “they” get it yanked and it comes back again.
*Somebody* is determined to keep this quiet.
*shrug*
I downloaded my own copies years ago.
No. Thanks for asking!
Another thing to consider is that the media has been screaming non-stop 24/7/365 that people who criticize or opposed Obama are racists. Some people being polled might be afriad they will be considered racists if they say they are voting for Romney. The political atmosphere is pure poison. How can you get honest answers in a poll?
After the polls today and this comment that I saw on Powerline “who do you think those 47 million food stamp reciprocants are going to vote for?” I am less enthusiactic than last week.
The doubling of the food stamp rolls by the Dems was a brilliant move on their part for the 2012 election.
The youth will vote again for Obama. Maybe not the same youths that voted in 2008, but the 14 to 17 year olds that couldn't vote for him in 2008 will vote for him in 2012 after 4 years of Marxist indoctrination in our own public schools.
Do you remember the song kids were singing after Obama was elected? Barack Hussein Obama MMM MMM MMM. Sickening that this could be going on in our school systems
” up 10 with whites”
Romney is up about 20 with whites. If he was up 10, he’d lose in a landslide.
None of this makes a darn worth of sense.
In an online poll conducted by the Los Angeles Daily last Friday asking if a person will vote for 0bama it finished at over 75% no.
In an online Baltimore Sun poll today asking if 0bama’s DNC speech was convincing to vote for him the results are currently 78% no.
The comments on yahoo after 0bama’s DNC speech were so tilted against 0bama, yahoo has hardly run any lead articles on 0bama since.
And then you even having Cokie Roberts pointing out the DNC abortion fest was a put off.
And poor job numbers.
From Gallup to Rasmussen, all of them, where is this enthusiasm for 0bama coming from?
My mistake, up 20(Even better) yet Im supposed to believe that Romney is losing..I dont buy it
WEekend poll numbers in Rasmussen favor Obama
i will start to get worried Wednesday if Obama is more than 2 points
