National Tracking Poll Thread

[Sbane]

I wouldn't put it beyond Razzy to be trolling us right now. Before the election his polls will be more or less accurate.

What states does Rasmussen consider 'swing' states?

The states collectively hold 146 Electoral College votes and include Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin

Since Obama leads in all these states, Scott proves once again he's a troll.

Romney leads in NC.

Questionable

Ipsos/Reuters: Obama +5

Obama 48
Romney 43

Their last poll was from last Thursday which had Obama 48/Romney 41. Don't know if this is still a daily tracker or a 'periodic tracker'

You really start to see the power of Rasmussen whenever you see any GOP pundit on TV. Whenever someone talks about the polls and how Romney is losing they always say "well the Rasmussen poll shows...."  On Real Time with Ball Maher some GOPer started that and then everyone just started laughing at him. Of course it was a liberal group but even the GOPer seemed half-heated about the whole thing.

Ras is not the only pollster to give a tied race. Answer in november.

It's good business to call this election tied.  The press in September 1984 was calling that election "still close" and polls were being released that showed it that way.  The race was never in doubt.

Scotty does favorable Republican numbers so Republicans and FOX will buy the results from him, but then readjusts the weighted model for the final polls so that why he can claim to be accurate, too.  That accuracy seal of approval, though he misfired on it a bit in 2010, makes the next cycle's favorable Republican numbers seem that much more valuable.

Well, we don't recent polls in all of them.  It is possible that Romney is surging in one (or several smaller ones), and the rest are static, or decreasing slightly.

Gallup's 7 day rolling average of REGISTERED voters has the race exactly back where it was on Tuesday, before the start of the DNC.

Obama: 47% (-1)
Romney: 46% (+1)

Romney is showing a lead in two, NC and CO, in some polls.  PA has shown a drop (11 down to 9) on some polls.  The rest could be just a tightening with better numbers in 2-3 states.

[Likely Voter]

Irony alert, Obama polling at 47% at Gallup, Romney polling at 47% at Rasmussen.

It's actually 48-48 today on Rasmussen with leaners.

Don't know why RCP refuses to post these leaner numbers instead of the leaner-less numbers.

Maybe because Romney is ahead with the latter and it's a tie with the former ?

because others don't push the leaners yet...

Because RCP is a right-wing hack website.

Now we just have to wait for the 47% deluge!

Romney leads in NC. CO, WI, NV, VA, OH, FL are tied. Ok for the rest.

Huh?

The RAND Corporation began life as an Air Force think tank during the Cold War. It stands for 'Research and Development'.
