Rasmussen - MASSACHUSETTS (OBAMA +15) (same as last poll)

Obama was +15 in the Ras MA poll, and he is still +15 in their October poll. (Obama & Romney each went up 2 points so the spread stayed the same - 55 vs 40 in Sept compared to 57 vs 42 now.)

Rasmussen Reports

Obama - 57

Romney - 42

You mean in the state where R left office with a 34% approval rating and 800 vetoes under his belt? I think the voters there would know him really, really well and I also think there should be more emphasis put on these things!

I don't live in a swing state, so perhaps I am not missing things..but It amazes me that we don't see more ads talking about the lies that R & R are belching everywhere...and our media IS NOT HELPING unless you watch MSNBC in the early and late evening. Most people are too busy with their lives to watch then, I fear.

I'm ashamed that we have that many amnesiacs in our state, willing to inflict Romney on the rest of America.

Did he bother to poll the Warren-Brown race which would have been interesting.

I see Elizabeth Warren stickers about 8:1 over Scott Brown stickers.

Nice to be in a sane state, though what anyone sees in Brown I cannot understand.
