The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows Mitt Romney attracting 46% of the vote, while President Obama earns 44%. Four percent (4%) prefer some other candidate, and six percent (6%) are undecided.

Romney has a six-point advantage among unaffiliated voters. He also picks up 20% of the vote from White Democrats.

Relax, Mitt has shown he has no problem blugeoning his opponents, or did you miss his attacks in the primaries?

Its JULY folks, and Mitt isn’t throwing hard punches and Obama has still be on the defensive, even with his obamacare win for more than a month.

Obama is a rank amateur and it shows, Romney can enjoy exactly what he has been doing, Obama hasn’t had 1 day of true offense since Romney was nominated, and if he couldn’t turn OBamacare ruling into offense, he can’t turn anything into offense.

It will get more interesting by the end of summer, but for now, no one but political junkies are paying a whole lot of attention.

Hope you're right.

I did not think Mitt would be the nominee and he is so maybe he knows how to win, unlike McCain.

I am not a Romney supporter, but I believe Obama will lose the election and get no more than 45% of the vote.

However, to me it seems that if he refuses to go out for some Touchdowns after the nomination, he will not bring a strong down ticket vote along with him. In other words, if he wants a Republican Senate, he should go all out after the convention?

Yes but we need to vote to get as many conservatives in the house and senate as possible. Even in the local state houses we need to stack with conservatives. That way, whatever happens with POTUS in the future we have conservatives in place for several years to stop nonsense.

Nicely done... I hope you are right.

[God luvs America]

This election isn’t about ROMNEY, its about OBAMA.. this election is a referendum on OBAMA, and when you dig into the numbers he’s got zero chance of winning re-election.

Thread winner. This race is between Obama and Not Obama. Who's this Romney guy?

Excellent post, HJ.

We are looking at a real possibility of a McGovern type election folks where the democrat won’t even pull 40% of the vote.

I have a gut feeling you are right. It's the same one I had in 1980 at this point in time. Except Carter was up something like 20% over Reagan.

But we have to keep working like it's 46 to 44%.

[painter]

but the real conversation is going to be will the Republicans get 60 seats in the Senate, no one but the most avid pundit will be arguing Obama will win with any sincerity.

I believe you,except come September we need to put the gas peddle to the floor to make sure it's a landslide. That way the coattails will be long and wide.

Dick Morris predicted the possibility of 60 seats two months ago and that is with Scott Brown loosing in Ma. It looks like now Scott has a chance to get reelected.

Oh for God’s sakes, don’t try and talk sense to the glass chewers.

[oldtimer]

You are absolutely correct.

It is scary to see what has happened, carefully portrayed by the lib media, to make everybody needy, except those greedy capitalists.

We can watch out for some Chicago style surprises along the way, and if O goes down in November, we will cringe at what he does with his last three months.

In Omaha we see Obama adds multiple times each day aimed at Iowa voters. I don’t see any Romney adds. Seems like a waste of money on Obama’s behalf.
