Rasmussen: OBAMA surge continues (+3)

Obama has now surged to a 3-point lead in Rasmussen! The biggest in weeks.

Rasmussen Tracking - Obama +3

Obama - 50

Romney - 47

--------

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows President Obama attracting support from 50% of voters nationwide, while Mitt Romney earns the vote from 47%. Two percent (2%) prefer some other candidate, and two percent (2%) are undecided. See daily tracking history.

These results include “leaners,” people who are initially uncommitted to the two leading candidates but lean towards one of them when asked a follow-up question.

3. But the Battleground/GWU/Politico poll today says it's tightening.

From 3% to 2%. Ed Goeas (Michele Bachmann's former pollster) says so! http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0912/81830.html?hp=l1

Sigh. I can't keep up with these RW pollster's strategies.

Seriously, did Scott Rasmussen adjust his voter screen ID for this month? It is October now and he changes it monthly. Perhaps better #'s for Dems on the voter ID.

6. Ironically, Romney can't get above 47% in the polls.

I checked realclear politics poll list. If you go back to the beginning of June, Romney gets to 48% in the polls twice. That's it. He really can't get above 47%.

Obama meanwhile, has been above 47% 30 times in just the past 2 months.
