43% Romney
40% Obama
  9% "Some other candidate"
  8% Undecided

Obama has the support of 79% of Democrats, while 73% of Republicans back Romney. Among voters not affiliated with either of the major parties, the Republican leads by 13 points – 42% to 29%.

82% of Tea Party members favor Romney. Non-members prefer the president 50% to 34%.

Romney holds a 14-point lead among male voters, while female voters prefer Obama by seven points. The incumbent leads among voters under 30; Romney holds the edge among older voters.

...

The match-up surveys of 1,000 Likely Voters were conducted September 10-11 2011 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error for the surveys is +/- 3% with a 95% level of confidence.  Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC.

Rasmussen seems to be the only pollster that has Obama's support against Romney at a lower level than his approval rating. All other pollsters have Obama's support against the Republicans at least 3-6% higher than his approval rating ...

Well they are the only pollster (I believe) that is already using a likely voter screen of some kind.  My guess is that if you disapprove of Obama but would vote for him anyway you are probably young/poor/not excited about voting.

Even though Obama has been ahead of Romney in other polls it has not been by any significant margin.   Both candidates are in the low 40s, does Rasmussen have a history of not pushing undecideds as much as other polling firms?  PPP had both Obama and Romney in the mid-to-high 40s
