Nevada: 44/51
New York: 54/39

When you look at the likely voters you see a rather large drop.

NYT/CBS News Poll:

49% Approve
39% Disapprove

Is there a "painfully apathetic" option?

If that option was included in polls I have a strong feeling it would get a solid majority everytime.

Rasmussen Obama (National)

Approve 45%, -1.

Disapprove 56%, +2.

"Strongly Approve" is at 23%, -1.  "Strongly Disapprove" is at 43%,  +1.

It could be an over anti-Obama sample; if so, it should be out in the next three days.  There does appear some slight erosion in Obama's numbers.

101%?

It must be ACORN!

Might as well cancel the election.

Because polls obviously will make no change between 2012 and now. Just look at Bush 41's re-election, or when Reagan was crushed by Carter  in 1980

I'm wondering if a pro Obama sample is moving through the system.

It`s actually 49-51 today.

But while Rasmussen is moving upwards, Gallup is still moving downwards to 43-49.

Well Rasmussen is a hackish GOP polling firm so we can't trust these numbers, we'll have to go with gallups
