Is that 7 points a product of the gay marriage evolution?
I don't think it's a big deal, but it moves the needle.  Particularly in places like NC, VA, OH, etc.

Daily tracking results are collected via telephone surveys of 500 likely voters per night and reported on a three-day rolling average basis. To reach those who have abandoned traditional landline telephones, Rasmussen Reports uses an online survey tool to interview randomly selected participants from a demographically diverse panel, that primarily consists of members from the Utah State Republican Party. The margin of sampling error for the full sample of 1,500 Likely Voters is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence.

Gallup, meanwhile, has Obama taking the lead over Romney 46-45.

And if it showed Obama over Romney by 7 you would be screaming how accurate it is no doubt.

If that were the case then Obama would in reality be leading by at least 12 or so.  Such is the nature of Rasmussen's polling.

[Bandit3 the Worker]

I find it awfully suspicious that the polls stopped coming the moment the story about Romney's hate crime against a classmate broke.

[HagridOfTheDeep]

Yes, because Romney tortured and lynched a gay kid. My Lord. Is there an eye roll smiley on this forum? There should be.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

When Obama announced support for gay marriage, Gallup had Romney up 3. Now they have Obama up 1. Clearly the sky is falling for Obama.

Except that the real Bush number was more like 38% rather than 44%.

One thing we can say with absolute certainty is that this race is a dead heat at this point, and it is far, FAR, from over, contrary to what the Romney detractors would like everybody to believe.

Not in the least. The electoral map looks much like that of 2008 with President Obama winning or losing with margins in most states similar to those of 2008.  Mitt Romney can win if everything goes right for him... but that requires one of Colorado and Nevada, and each of the following states: Missouri, Ohio, Virginia, North Carolina, and Florida. (At that I am not talking about Arizona or Indiana, an Obama win in either of which indicates that the President has won all swing states and is on the way to 370-380 electoral votes.  Romney needs an appeal that wins every one of those and thus makes such states as Iowa, New Mexico, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania close. That will take a strong new appeal that he needs to show.... yesterday.

Romney's favorables are soaring.


http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/story/2012-05-14/poll-economy-obama-romney/54958250/1

Since becoming the presumptive Republican nominee, Romney's favorable-unfavorable rating has jumped to 50%-41%, his best ever and in the same neighborhood as Obama's 52%-46% standing. The former Massachusetts governor gets stronger ratings than the president when it comes to handling the economy, the issue likely to drive the campaign.

In the poll, 55% say the economy would get better over the next four years if Romney was elected, compared with 46% who say it would improve if Obama was re-elected. Twenty-seven percent say the economy would get worse in a Romney first term, compared with 37% who say that of an Obama second term.

The revelation that Romney committed a hate crime against a schoolmate can't be helping him.

Dude, that's gone from the headlines now. You gotta go with the flow, man. Keep up with what's in, yo. F**k that story, all the popular kids are gettin' in with JP Morgan...

Did I just type that? I did.

[Ben Romney]

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows Mitt Romney attracting 47% of the vote, while President Obama earns 44%. Four percent (4%) prefer some other candidate, and another five percent (5%) are undecided.

Did anyone expect the disappointed voters for Santorum, Gingrich, or Perry to break toward President Obama? Republicans who might have heard their preachers rail against Mormonism as a horrible heresy now are getting accustomed to the prospect of a Mormon as President.

The 9% difference on economic stewardship is shaky. The Republicans would like us to forget Dubya -- but Romney has nothing to offer except the Bush II agenda without a real-estate boom. It's all tax cuts, gutting of unions, and regulatory relief on behalf of a few plutocrats.  

Don't forget that Mitt Romney is an empty suit on foreign policy. If he tries to run to the Right of President Obama on foreign policy he is easily cast as an extremist.

Right, Romney is an empty suit and Obama is...  O wait, you shouldn't attack a guy for being better than the other guy.     

[ajb]

Today's Gallup is Obama 48 (+1), Romney 43 (-1). Guess being stuck with Obamacare is really killing Obama in the polls.

He called Romney an empty suit on foreign policy. I don't think anybody would accuse Romney of being an empty suit on other issues. On economic issues an ugly suit, perhaps. On social issues a technicolor dreamcoat that's unnervingly mutable at times, certainly. But not an empty suit.

[Fuzzy]

And the Pubblie hacks went silent, for Rasmussen showed Obama up by one point.
