49-45 Obama-Romney in Rasmussen today

[Marsala]

Pretty impressive considering it's Rasmussen. Also a three point jump upwards in one day for Obama (on top of two previous days of upward movement). Romney did go up a point, but he still is -2 today against Obama.

2. Since it's Raz, can't we add 2 - 3 pts? Nate says they oversample old GOP voters.

3. Rasmussen and Gallup seem very close

Gallup has Obama (+5)

Rasmussen has Obama (+4)

So it looks like we are seeing some consistency in the bounce.

6. Both polls have a republican bias

Rasmussen more than Gallup.

5. What is this crap? How the hell can't Obama crack 50%, I just don't get it.

The people need an epiphany at some point, they KNOW they hate Romney, but, come on, the folks need to pick a winner.

7. He is in approval ratings on Rasmusen and Gallup.

And it was not until October of 2008 that Obama broke 50% with matchups against McCain. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2012/president/obama_vs_romney_compared_to_obama_vs_mccain.html
