Rasmussen today and yesterday: Romney 48-44

Fordham university study found Rasmussen is the #1 most accurate pollster in america in 2008.


Is it over for Obama?

Still a long way to go...

The dems on this site will be quick to tell you he's somehow in the tank for the GOP. Especially when the numbers don't agree with their side. This is the one I trust most. His numbers were accurate last time around.

Obama is still looking golden overall in the electoral count. Rassmussen still has Obama in the lead at 247 to 196. If that's to be believed, Obama only needs a few states to wrap it up. Those battleground states are close almost everywhere. To this point, those numbers haven't changed as much as the overall number (48-44), which means little. We'll see if there's a shift. It's all up to the battleground states.

Also, keep in mind that Romney is likely to get a bump after the convention. Obama may also see the same this time next week.

Do you know anything about politics?

Romney just got done with his convention, and Obama's is this week. Even without that, 4 points with over 2 months in no way means the race is over.

Convention bounce. Common' kids. It's like a win when the other team hasn't played yet.

The Fordham study took into account one set of numbers from 23 polls. That doesn't exactly stand out to me as reliable. You are more than welcome to see for yourself.

Here is an interesting chart from Nate Silver:

Nate Silver essentially proved Rasmussen is biased towards the GOP last time out.

Furthermore Silver's projections have Obama gaining even more ground across the nation as Romney's chances of winning have dropped another 5% in the last 7 days (He still has North Carolina as the only swing state Romney will win).

And the there's this...

Polling tracking the impact of the Republican convention has been sparse, but on Monday the Gallup Poll weighed in with a new survey showing the convention had only a "minimal impact" on the fortunes of Republican nominee Mitt Romney.

In interviews conducted over the three days since the close of the Republican convention, Gallup found roughly the same number of Americans saying the convention made them more likely to support Republican nominee Mitt Romney (40 percent) as saying it made them less likely to support him (38 percent).

This self-reported measure should not be interpreted literally since, as Gallup points out, Republicans overwhelmingly said they were more likely to vote for Romney and Democrats largely said they would vote against him, as the partisans on both sides were already supporting their party's nominee. When compared to results from similar surveys conducted following conventions back to 1984, however, these questions provide what Gallup described as a "rough approximation of the conventions' relative impact," since they have asked the same questions following each convention.

By that measure, the 2012 Republican convention had the lowest-ever self-reported net impact on voter intentions ever (+2, the difference between the more and less likely percentages), just slightly lower than the Republican conventions of 2004 (+3) and 2008 (+5).

I've been saying it for weeks... the GOP needs a gamechanger or they're slowly going to get pummeled.
