The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows Mitt Romney attracting 48% of the vote, while President Obama earns support from 44%. Four percent (4%) prefer some other candidate, and four percent (4%) are undecided.
Romney’s has lead by four or five points for three consecutive days. That’s the largest advantage enjoyed by either candidate in over a month.
------------------
Since it's always fun to compare: On this day in 2008, Obama led Republican nominee John McCain by 5 points — 49 to 44 percent — in Rasmussen's daily tracking.
It's interesting that all the polling showing Obama ahead, and people like you rush in to say that polls don't matter yet or that they're wrong or that they're biased. Rasmussen leans Republican and are actually considered to be one of the worst main pollsters out there. They've had very wild swings this election cycle as well only to come back to reality, so it's really hard to take them seriously. Also, you forget that it won't be national polls that decide the election. Most states are already set on how they're voting, as usual. The swing states, however, are almost all on Obama's side and have been so from the beginning. Only Florida, NC and maybe VA are realistically in play at this point. If Romney can't win several of these, including increasingly unlikely Ohio, then he can't win even if he's ahead on national polling. And if you're still unconvinced that national polls are less important that state ones, ask Gore how he feels about winning the national popular vote.

This election is a referendum on the economy. Polls show that voters trust Romney more than Obama in running the economy by over a 10% margin. This is the most important issue of 2012, therefore Obama is the default loser.
Voters will not vote against the man they think will help the nation in the issue which they feel is the most important. Additionally, Obama has gained significant opposition from the Supreme Court decision on Obamacare, making matters much worse for him. Now if gay marriage or open borders was the most important issue to Americans, Obama would win hands down. However, that is not the case.
I think that most libs know that Obama is going to lose, yet they are just trying to put on a good showing. Most rational people know that the writing is on the wall and that Bo is done. He had four years and failed.

Polls say otherwise, hawk eye. I mean, you can believe whatever you want, but he fact is that Rasmussen is the ONLY pollster that has given Romney a consistent lead. Obama has a consistent, albeit small, lead in virtually ever other poll. And in state polls, Obama has lead virtually all of them in Ohio, Michigan, PA, WI and VA.

Of course, you guys usually ignore that.
