Rasmussen in Missouri: Obama 47%, Romney 46%

lol

So yeah, I wouldn't completely trust anything that PPP or Rasmussen have done in Missouri lately, obviously. I will just note that this poll is a lot closer to other recent polls out of Missouri than the PPP one though.

Yes, this is not believable at all. Definitely a junk poll.. either Rasmussen is trying to look less partisan or something was seriously wrong with their sample. Comfortably lean Romney.

I'm not saying that this is a legitimate poll but SUSA and others have basically shown the same thing as Rasmussen here.

Err, not really:

The last poll to show Obama ahead was PPP in May, and SurveyUSA is the only 1 other than today's Ras to show it a 1 pt race in a while. As you can see, Romney's had strong leads before on Ras, Mason-Dixon, and WeAskAmerica.

Nope, there is actually another extremely recent poll (the most recent other than this and the PPP poll) showing it as a one point race. There's actually a thread about it on this board.

Unfortunately, RCP has a tendency to pick and choose which polls to include in their averages, rendering them not all that useful.
