[You kip if you want to...]

Santorum polls better against the Prez than Newt does.

[Tender Branson]

In Rasmussenfantasyworld, Romney now leads Obama by 45-39 ...

Also, new IA poll out in a few hours.

[Umengus]

Update III: Rasmussen informs me that the D/R/I in this sample is 33/34/33, which is very close to the 35/35/29 from the midterms.  If anything, it might oversample independents just a bit, but otherwise looks pretty solid.

Rasmussen once again made their tracking sample more Republican-leaning:

It's now 35.9% GOP, 32.5% DEM and 31.6% IND.

And that's among ADULTS surveyed. Their LV tracking model is even more Republican.

This might actually be correct.   Santorum is the only one whose name isn't being thrown into the mud right now (ironic, i know).

Doesn't fit with any of the other national or state polling that has included him though.

Rasmussen hits a new low for credibility.

[Tender Branson]

Obama opens up a 10-point lead against Romney:

50-40

"This is the largest lead the president has enjoyed against Romney in regular polling going back more than a year. It’s also the first time that the president has reached the 50% level of support against Romney."

And Obama leads Santorum by 4:

46-42

"Last week, Santorum had a one-point advantage over Obama. However, like Rick Perry, Herman Cain and Newt Gingrich before him, Santorum was unable to sustain that advantage beyond a single poll."

50% Approve of Obama in Ohio, 44% Say Same of Kasich

[Tender Branson]

Both Romney and Santorum now trail Obama by 48-41.

[5280/East California]

Obama approval at 45%, the lowest in a month. Trailing Romney and Ron Paul. 

Romney 45% Obama 43%
Paul 43% Obama 41%
Obama 45% Santorum 43%
Obama 49% Gingrich 39%

[Jbrase]

Paul 43% Obama 41%

Those 43% who said Paul clearly don't count becuase Paul cannot win. Just ignore them.  Nothing to see here.

Ron Paul is so the new Bill Clinton.

Current Poll numbers

Obama 47% Romney 43 %

Obama 47 % Santorum 43 %

[Tender Branson]

Today's numbers show Romney at 48%, Obama at 43%. That’s Romney’s largest lead since December.

If Santorum is the Republican nominee, he is up by one point over the president, 46% to 45%. This is the second time since polling began in 2011 that Santorum has had a slight lead over Obama.

I remember that Romney and Santorum were down by 6-8 about 3 days ago.

Either a HUGE Super Tuesday BOUNCE for both of them, or WHACKO SCOTTY TROLLING.

I believe it's the latter.

I believe it's the latter.

So, in effect, something like, an 11-point swing from Obama (-5) to Romney (+6) and an 8-point swing from Obama (-4) to Santorum (+4) over the past four days, while the president's approval has slipped (49-50) -1 to -10 (44-54)

Rather puzzling, given that nothing has happened for the worse that should have caused such a movement

[marvelrobbins]

Other they giving Republicans a good showing no nothing drastic has happened.In a few days
It will change.RAs goes from good days to Obama to bad and then back to good.This will
continue till Fall when RAS won't want to be seen as outliner.

Nate Silver called RAS one of most biased pollsters based on 2010 results.

[King]

Didn't Scott change his sample to a ridiculous R+5?  Romney +5 is a tie.

[TheDeadFlagBlues]

Paul 43% Obama 41%

Basing your electability arguments off of a Rasmussen poll is pretty pathetic.

[ajb]

Current Poll numbers

Obama 47% Romney 43 %

Obama 47 % Santorum 43 %

And yet just yesterday Rasmussen said that Obama led by four in FL, OH, NC and VA, four populous states located right in the middle of the left-right spectrum in America. Hmmm...
