OH, Ras: Romney in the lead

LOL, sure Scott.

By the way, this poll has a one day sample? Is that the norm for Rasmussen polls? That might explain why they've been such total garbage the last couple of cycles.

According to who?

Glorious news indeed. They had Obama tied in their last poll back in 2008. They were the only pollster saying that then and they are the only one saying that now.

Obama wasnt the incumbent in 2008 and stood to gain a larger amount of the undecideds.

I hope to God this holds for another week.  

Obama led in every final poll in 2008 except Rasmussen. Obama is currently leading in every poll except this new one by Rasmussen.

This latest poll by Rasmussen, showing Romney up + 2 in Ohio, gives credible evidence to the over arching narrative that Romney is leading and his momentum while it has slowed down, has not halted and Ohio is finally moving in Romney's direction; the uncertainty over the economy, will likely trump the auto bail-out narrative which had sustained Obama, it was only a question of time before Ohio budged and Rasmussen is the first of my polls; watch RCP and other polls and when you put Michigan into the toss-up category, well Obama's life has just gotten that more complicated, he now has to go on defense in another state, which had been considered safe - but watch this space, Friday will be the day where things begin to take shape and point to the final and actual outcome.
