Yay, such great candidates that neither can get a majority. Woot!
 
And then there are the other polls including Fox News, that show Obama well ahead of Romney.... even above 52%. The only "odd one out" is... Rasmussen.
 
for a long and geeky discussion of polling, check out Nate Silver's recent post

Aug. 9: National Polls Shouldn’t Panic Romney

President Obama got a couple of very good-looking polls on Thursday. A CNN poll put him seven points ahead of Mitt Romney in the national race. And a Fox News poll gave Mr. Obama a nine-point lead. Some polling firms, like Pew Research, have consistently shown strong numbers for Mr. Obama. When a polling firm like that prints another strong number for him, it isn’t necessarily news. In the Real Clear Politics average of national polls, Mr. Obama’s lead grew to 4.4 percentage points on Thursday. That’s his largest lead by its method since early April, when Mitt Romney was just starting to recover from a rough stretch in the primary campaign.

And yet, despite all that, I think the importance of these new polls could easily be overstated — and probably will be by some in the news media.

Rasmussen continues to be an outlier in the polling business, at least at this point in the game.

There is a huge difference between likely voters and registered voters..........

Yeah, Nate wrote about this after the 2008 elections. His study found that up until 3 to 4 weeks prior to an election, Rasmussen polls were heavily biased toward Republican-leaning groups but in the last month before the election, they shifted to a demographic that more accurately reflected reality and as a consequence for that period their polls became much more accurate - but not always.

The 2010 election cycle was not a good one for Rasmussen supporters, 13 of its polls missed by 10 or more points, including one in the Hawaii Senate race that missed the final margin between the candidates by 40 points, the largest error ever recorded in a general election in FiveThirtyEight’s database, which includes all polls conducted since 1998.
 
Just saw on TV that NBC, CNN, FOX News, and WSJ all have Obama leading by a **** ton bud. Sorry to ruin your little party/...

With Fox showing Obama with a 9 point lead, Reuters and CNN giving him a 7 point lead, and Pew giving Obama a 10 point lead ... great timing!! :lamo

I would say the lies are working, Reid saying the word is out but their is no word, just a lie. Then Romney kills people by giving them cancer, even though he left the company 6 yrs earlier. Lies work. The real tragedy in this is the American people are still left with over 8% unemployment and an economic growth of 1.5% and 16 trillion in debt. And under Obama his policies equals more of the same, and that's not a lie.

I would agree that it's partly a result of Romney's self-inflicted wound -- his refusal to turn over more tax returns. And of course his world gaffe tour didn't help much. And the stock markets have been rising sharply for several months, which is always good for a point or two. And of course Romney is an unlikeable stiff.

On the night of November 6 half the country is going to be disappointed....at least highly political types. Please remember our founding fathers had to wisdom to create a system of checks and balances. When one side wins the Whitehouse, it usually fires up the other side to win Congress in the midterms. This was very evident in 2010 where it could be legitimately argued the election of Barack Obama to the Whitehouse in 2008 triggered the greatest advancement of conservatism in American history as demonstrated in the 2010 congressional elections. I say all that to say if Obama wins re-election in 2012, and I think he will please nobody go postal on us. In two short years Republicans will pick up more House seats. A 66% majority in Congress relegates the President to essentially an employee of the Congressional majority.

The best polling data on the presidential race is IMHO the Real Clear Politics daily average of all polls. Only Rasmussen makes it look like Romney is kicking butt. All the others have Obama ahead including Fox New Channel. I think we need to be honest with ourselves. The demographic trends in America are looking brighter and brighter for the democrats going forward. Growing minorities populations, some of whom have been irrevocably turned off by the GOP. New younger voters. Women. It all looks favorable for the Democrats in decades to come. Conservatives IMHO should work on local and state offices and congressional seats. Meanwhile figure out how to reach NEW voters with their message instead preaching to the choir in a manner that is a turn off to those who weren't already going to vote Republican. I'm a republican myself and I've been so put off by the demonization tactics of those speaking on behalf of the GOP I'm probably going to vote for Obama just to make a statement.

LOL...the same Rasmussen that you yourself called a "biased pollster that only polls liberals"?

I guess you like the results this week and agree with them.....you are as stable on your belief as Mr. Etch a Sketch himself.
