The full Swing State tracking update offers Rasmussen Reader subscribers a combined view of the results from 11 key states won by President Obama in 2008 and thought to be competitive in 2012. The states collectively hold 146 Electoral College votes and include Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin. If you do not already have a Rasmussen Reader account, subscribe now.

Platinum Members have access to detailed demographic information.

In the 11 swing states, Mitt Romney earns 49% of the vote to Obama’s 46%. Two percent (2%) like another candidate in the race, and four percent (4%) are undecided.

This survey is conducted on a rolling seven-day basis, so today’s update mostly includes responses following Tuesday night’s presidential debate. Romney has now held a small lead for 11 of the last 14 days; Obama was ahead twice, and the candidates ran even once.

Look at this hidden gem:

Romney now leads 50% to 37% among unaffiliated voters in the combined swing states.

Each of us here are now in the most crucial time ever. For our founding fathers, for the generations yet to come , we must save freedom. Our founding fathers gave it all to us , all that we have : can we keep the faith? The stakes couldn’t be higher . It is up to us to stop evil( obama and socialism). The forces of evil (Obama and democrats) are closing in on their goal of destroying America and freedom .
With the help of the media Obama will pull a Chavez on America and enslave us. Let those that come us after say about us that we in our time we did all we could to keep them free.

No I’m not asking you to walk 20 miles per day over frozen ground to face in battle the greatest
power in the world as our founding Fathers did in the revolutionary war. I’m asking you to do all that you can from this moment forward to the election( calls for, donations to Romney etc).

Our forefathers put up with less tyranny than Obama is piling on us . Our forefathers went to war , walking miles in bare bloody feet on frozen ground, to risk death for freedom. We could make a few calls now.Go to Romney’s site and volunteer to call people in Ohio and other swing states. Doesn’t cost us anything to save America, freedom , and our way of life. The time is now.

Obama is killing coal , oil, etc. and private companies. Just if we allowed the private sector to develop the U.S.’s unlimited coal, oil, natural gas, oil shale etc. just if the government and EPA got out of the way , energy would be the cheapest in the world for U.S. companies who could then outcompete China and other countries.

This POS Obama has closed 204 coal plants,
and done millions of other crimes,
piled on 11,000 new pages of federal regulations on business, and 13,000 pages more government regulations from obamacare coming,
did many unlawful executive orders,
6 trillion $ in new Obama federal debt etc.

you Obama get out of the United States you criminal, marxist, muslim socialist Obama.

As Joe Biden would say: ‘That’s a big effin deal’.

[tsowellfan]

Adjust for voter fraud and it’s Obama 51%, Romney 49%

Romney’s doing good but hundreds of people at the ripe old age of 112 registered to vote in NC.

That’s just 112 and just NC.

How many others between the ages 18 and 110 are fraud also? And mulitiply that by 50 states.

Tatown,

Please do not spoil a perfectly good morning by mentioning our Vice President’s name :-)

As a revenge to you, here is my response

1. Hillary Clinton
2. Tammy Duckworth
3. Gloria Allred
4. Nancy Pelosi
5. Barbara Streisand

I could go on.... if you don’t mend your ways ;-)

50-37 is a devastating, demoralizing figure for the Obama-ites
to have to see just two weeks before the election. It’s desperation time for them. What will they do to try to save their meal ticket?

[tatown]

Okay, you win.

[nhwingut]

Posted on CO thread... But this is what I see.

I think Romney has FL, NC, VA, and CO. They have all been trending his way big time (as has Ohio but still a tossup).

If you give those 4 states to Romney, and if you give Obama PA, WI, and MI, that leaves it at 257-247 for Romney.

Romney needs 13 and Obama needs 23.

Remaining states: NH (4), Iowa (6), Nevada (6), and Ohio (18).

Obama needs Ohio and either Iowa or Nevada. Romney only needs Ohio. And can still win without Ohio. He could actually win Iowa and Nevada (lose NH) and pull 1 EV out of Maine for 13. Obama can’t win without Ohio.

It’s Romney’s to lose.

Even in Illinois it is hard to cheat up more than a percent or two. Not without starting a revolution. If you see the race within one percent worry. With a three percent gap it get a lot harder. Not impossible, but a lot harder. As Hugh Hewitt said “ If It's Not Close, They Can't Cheat”.

[SoftwareEngineer]

NH,

I saw your comment on the other thead too and was going to reply to it but will do it here.

While I agree that PA and maybe MI are tough for Gov Romney, I do believe WI will be safely R

Look at the Rasmussen poll for the Senate seat in WI out today.

There is no way someone votes for Tommy Thompson and then votes for President Obama.

[Democrat_media]

But the media said Obama won the debate . LOL. Looks like Romney lead increasing after 2nd debate.

[nhwingut]

CBS/Q out with a Ohio poll. Obama up 5 (from up 10 last month) with a D+9 (35/26/34) sample. LOL!

The D+9 is even more laughable when you give Rs only 26%. In 2008 they had 31%. In 2010 they had 37%.

[DGHoodini]

I’m pnly mildly interested in watching tonights debate..anythinmg of real significance will be rebroadcast and disected every way imaginable over the next week or two

i am more interested in tomorrows “big Womens rally” that Obama and Biden are having in Ohio...or more accurately, the turnmout it gets..Will the crowd be big, or will it be a “NOW/Fluke event” with more “reporters” than women?

Personally, I expect more women will stay home and watch ‘Hart of Dixie’ and ‘Emily Owens, M.D.’ than want to go listen to trhe sqame old stump speeches again.

[ConservativeDude]

There is no way someone votes for Tommy Thompson and then votes for President Obama.”

Great point.

I also have to wonder, has Ryan’s CD voted Dem in presidential years? Surely, Romney/Ryan will carry Ryan’s CD (where he is still on the congressional ballot)?

It would be very heartening to know if obama carried Ryan’s CD in 2008....

[kimchi lover]

Wasn’t Romney at 50% yesterday?

[GonzoGOP]

CBS/Q out with a Ohio poll. Obama up 5 (from up 10 last month) with a D+9 (35/26/34) sample. LOL!

Even if you factor in the over sample it is going to be close. There are more Democrats in Ohio than Republicans. Probably a lot closer to +3 than +9. However it is still going to be close in OH. Until I see Rass or Gallup putting it outside the margin of error Ohio is going to be a nail biter.

[tatown]

Yes, the change is likely due to statistical noise.

[Wiser now]

Here is the information about tomorrow’s Obama Biden rally:
http://www.daytondailynews.com/news/news/local/how-to-go-obama-biden-in-dayton-this-week/nSjwG

Please note, there is no parking information given, available parking at this venue is extremly limited. There is only one bus. Most of the locations for tickets are difficult to get to. The rally itself is in a very unsavory part of town where womwn are not wise to go alone. To be very specific, this is a known homosexual hangout and the police run sting operations there frequently.
