Sunday, October 28, 2012

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday shows Mitt Romney attracting support from 50% of voters nationwide, while President Obama earns the vote from 47%. One percent (1%) prefers some other candidate, and another one percent (1%) remains undecided.

The president wins support from 86% of Democrats, while Romney has 90% of the Republican vote. Among unaffiliated voters, it’s Romney by 11 points.

The generation gap remains huge. Obama has a big lead among those under 40, while Romney has an equally sizable lead among older voters.

1. That means President Obama is leading by +10

2. And Scotty (R)asmussen starts his slooooow march to reality.

Expect his poll one week from tomorrow to reflect reality so he can once again be pegged as the most accurate pollster.

3. May just be statistical noise at this point

But Romney dropped 1 point this morning. He was (+4) yesterday, and so now he is down to (+3).

He could go back up again tomorrow for all I know, but hopefully it will cause some consternation in Freeper land.

4. I Note This

The generation gap remains huge. Obama has a big lead among those under 40, while Romney has an equally sizable lead among older voters.

This year, Obama’s team believes that its turnout machinery will produce an electorate with more minority and younger voters than most polls project. “It is going to be a different electorate ... than people are expecting,” Jim Messina, Obama’s campaign manager, says flatly

8. It is amazing how big the generation gap is in all these polls.

But I see it in my own family. I am under 40 and unabashedly liberal and totally support Obama. My parents are 65 and watch Faux news. They are totally for Romney. Not to say everyone in these age groups will fall that way but the majority will. What happened to the baby boomers? Were they totally take over by Reagan in the 80's and never looked back?

5. He does this every election.

Last week corrections so that he does not appear to be out of the maintstream. He's a tool.

6. They Are

Going to slowly bring this thing to even and then by election day have Obama barely ahead.

Simply put: he has been trying to create a "Romney is winning" narrative all along but then as election day nears he's going to give us the real results because he wants to be able to say he was right in the end.

We live in a poll-centric world now...all these pollsters at the end are going to give us their REAL numbers so 4 yrs from now we can all look back at em and compare "who was best in 2012?".
