Wednesday, October 24, 2012

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows Mitt Romney attracting support from 50% of voters nationwide, while President Obama earns the vote from 46%. Two percent (2%) prefers some other candidate, and two percent (2%) are undecided.

This is the second straight day with Romney enjoying a 4-point advantage. Prior to that, with the exception of the convention bounces, neither candidate had led by more than three points for months. However, it is not clear whether this represents a lasting change in the race or is merely statistical noise. See daily tracking history.

These updates are based upon nightly telephone interviews and reported on a three-day rolling average basis. As a result, approximately two-thirds of the interviews for today’s update were completed before the end of Monday night’s presidential debate. The single night of interviews conducted after the debate is similar to the two-point advantage Romney has enjoyed recently rather than the current four-point spread. As always, caution should be used when interpreting a single night of data in a tracking poll. Friday morning will be the first update based entirely upon interviews conducted after the final debate.

Matchup results are updated daily at 9:30 a.m. Eastern (sign up for free daily e-mail update).

In Ohio,  the race is now tied at 48%. Romney is trusted more than Obama on economic issues and energy policy, while Obama has the edge on national security. The president has a 10-point advantage among those who have already voted.

In the Rasmussen Reports Electoral College projections, the president has 237 Electoral Votes and Romney 235. The magic number needed to win the White House is 270. Seven states with 66 Electoral College votes remain Toss-ups: Colorado,  Iowa,  Nevada,  New Hampshire. Ohio, Virginia and Wisconsin,   New data will be released later today for New Hampshire and Nevada.

In the North Dakota Senate race, Republican Rick Berg has a five-point advantage.  The Rasmussen Reports Senate Balance of Power rankings project that Democrats will end up with 48 Senate seats, the Republicans 47, with five remaining Toss-Ups: Connecticut, Massachusetts, Montana,  Virginia  and Wisconsin.

The housing market is looking a little stronger. Fifty-five percent (55%) of homeowners now believe their home is worth more than the mortgage.

I had a look at gallup and real clear politics and I don't think we can celebrate quite yet. It's very close.

Romney needs to educate the public more about this Benghazi coverup.  If more people paid attention to the truth about that, there's no way Obama could get re-elected.

Yes, exposure of Benghazi can certainly help further.

It's a difficult task to achieve. Because the media will use this against him and claim he is a warmonger and a conspiracy theory nutjob.

Rather this will make the rightists to rally around him with reinvigorated power.

I think the rational is that they are already voting Romney. But he is trying to persuade the undecided votes, who clearly aren't paying too much attention to details and facts.

Ok, but the Muslim in Chief leads in crucial Ohio and is well ahead among early voters.   I still have the sinking feeling that the Muslim in Chief will somehow eek out a win.

Exposure of Benghazi does not require too much attention to details and facts. It is a consolidated event within itself which can come out to be a turning point, if and when used judiciously.

Benghazi incident belongs to whole of USA and it does not belong only to demos or Reps or independents or undecided.

Too close for comfort.  And Ohio will probably go for Hussein, so election night will be a nail biter.

Great map, but I am sure they are biased of Obama.

Ohio will be the spoiler... If the moon and all the stars all get into alignment and G-d is willing we will get a new president... It's going to be just that close... The odd ball storm we are expecting next week here on the east coast might be the winds of change we are praying for... G-d willing it will blow out the old and bring in the new... Then again something is telling me it might be a Romney landslide plain and simple.

Man, I hope your right! I have been fighting with people at work, like no other the  last few days, I'm about ready to start choking people for being stupid! They are just listening to the media, and will not listen to the facts!
