The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows President Obama attracting support from 47% of voters nationwide, while Mitt Romney earns the vote from 46%. Three percent (3%) prefer some other candidate, and four percent (4%) are undecided.

He was -9 on Friday. So he’s lost 7 in the strong index.
Although Ras has battleground 47-44 Obama...
Rasmussen has them locked neck and neck again today. Can’t deny that. Of all the polling organizations, this one is the most trustworthy.
My gut tells me something else. I think we may be at a tipping point. Obama’s doing everything he can just to tread water. The media’s doing everything it can to make the narrative state that Romney is losing big. But I think the story is starting to fall apart. I think Romney/Ryan are on the verge of pulling ahead. Big time. We’ll see.
The Marxist is stuck at 47% on all fronts: Not good for an incumbent. Tells me that Romney can close the deal if he competently works the debates. The voters are simply looking for a reason to break his way.
47% again....I guess the fact that Romney was factual in his fund-raiser comments means he’s a bad man for saying so. </sarc>
State polls always lag behind national poll.
If you notice Obama was up 5 on Romney a week or so back, but it was tied in swing states. And now that national polls are tightening up, the swings are still feeling the bounce. It takes a week or so for them to catch up.
I didn’t know that.. thanks.
Agreed. The Pathological Liar-In-Chief and his MSM lackeys have fired everything at Romney for weeks and weeks and yet still can’t legitimately pull ahead.
I saw Scott R. on Imus this morning.
He said the Marxist would likely win, were the election held today.
Agreed. The undecideds will break strongly for Romney and Obama knows this.
And Ras has been skewing his polls with a D+3 or D+4 by using party turn out that is something between the 04 and the 08 elections.
God too bad you can’t turn back the clock and knock some sense into voters during the primaries. Santorum, Bachmann would have been running circles around obama. What a shame. Last year FREEPERS were saying that anybody could beat Obama...now all of a sudden FREEPERS are saying that Obama is too good to lose to Santorum....Which is it????
I am not picking and choosing my good news, but I was told that Ras was using 2008 models for state elections
Nice to see the leaners going Romney’s way again. In fact, Obama gained nothing from them in today’s poll.
Then he's going to be off the mark like the rest of them.
“I saw Scott R. on Imus this morning. He said the Marxist would likely win, were the election held today.”
Rasmussen is just trying to prove his objectivity. Many in the media and polling industry level him with attacks stating he’s biased towards conservatives. But his own polling reveals Obama consistently below 50% in all measures (approval, vote, swing state). So how can he confidently state Obama would win today? He’s contradicting his own data.
this is bothersome- no doubt...Romney/Ryan have to turn up the heat- this is their election to lose, but i’ve yet to see them do it...did the topic of skewed polls come up with Imus and Ras??
