Steady as she goes. Gov Romney is AGAIN at 50%. The presidential approval stays at -12%

However, Gov Romney is now 17 points ahead with independents!!

He is 4 behind with women

Right Track/Wrong Track is: 39/57

Overall approval for the President: 48%

Some of these numbers are internal and will NOT show in the link above

[SoftwareEngineer]

It is R:50 O;47

Typo by me!

Admins please correct

[mountainlion]

How do you get Friday? All I get is Thursday!

50-47 seems to be the consensus. Romney now pulling away big time with Indies. He is up 17 in Rasmussen, and up 19 in ABC/WaPo… These numbers indicate a 53-47 landslide.

And the stat I watch closest, Right Track/Wrong Track, is trending badly for Obama with the “Other” demo (Hispanics/Asians). Earlier in week it had almost pulled dead even (43/44). Today it is 32/60 for a -28 reading.

With only 11 days to go, Obama is not just in a bad spot, he’s almost in an unrecoverable spot.

Just read that Rasmussen moved his sample today to D+6 and Romney still leads by 3. Barring a “dead girl / live boy” type of thing, it’s over.

Ping

Rasmussen released to members today at 8:50. And he is late with his public release.

He is a paying member. Thanks, software engineer.

Hi,

The top numbers (R:50, O:47) are on the home page

http://www.RasmussenReports.com

Just go through the three panels

[Ravi]

Yeah he did change it to a D+6 model. That irritates me. I think he is scared of showing a romney blowout.

[ScaniaBoy]

Just read that Rasmussen moved his sample today to D+6

Where did you read that, and why did he do it???

That 2008 model is as outdated as VHS videos.

[MrB]

47... somehow that number seems familiar.

[apillar]

It's funny, last week Gallup had Romney up by 6 and 7 but Ras only had him up 1 or 2. Since then Gallup has dropped a couple and Ras has went up a couple so for the last few days Romney has been sitting at +3/+4 in both, most of the other polls seem to been settled in that range as well (except for the outlier IBD/TIPP poll which still has Obama at +2).

This time around, Obama’s tired Socialist blather only fools Blacks and the university know-nothings.

[BuckeyeGOP]

good questions...

that makes little sense

[SoftwareEngineer]

Yes, I am a paying member

However, I always wait for Scott Rasmussen to publish his numbers to the public before he posts

So, as soon as he posted the top line numbers to the home page, I posted

That is why the link to the article above is his home page and not the commentary that Scott normally publishes

[Lacey2]

Why is he doing this? The D+6 refers to the expected turnout, correct? If so then this doesn’t square with PEW RESEARCH which has Republican enthusiasm at a RECORD HIGH.

[andy58-in-nh]

We have well noted the tendency of most public polls to undersample Republicans this year (preferring a 2008 turnout assumption), but the same polls are likely discounting independent/unenrolled voters as well.

In any event, based upon all historical precedents, a sitting President who consistently cannot command more than 47% support will not be re-elected.

[zaker99]

Where did you read about the +6 D sample?

[nhwingut]

Romney is winning over 13% of Dems now, and topping Obama with Indies by 17%. That should show a much bigger lead than 3 points, no?

Did Rasmussen change his sample? He had been using D+3.
