On Rasmussen's daily tracking poll which, I have always found to be one of the most accurate along with Zogby, romney closed to within 1 point as of yesterday and actually has a 1 point lead in todays tracking poll. They then added en leaning numbers and Romney was ahead by 3. I just cant for the life of me figure out who these people are and i dont realy think I want them voting. not that it bothers me, but is 1 jobs report and this situation in the middle east enough to bring it back even in 5 days? Some of the polls have a little bigger spread but I dont usually find them to be very accurate on electionday. they tend t sample a much higher number of Democrats than republicans. Also, what else do you need to know if you are an undecided voter. Dont these people know what they believe. I just find it a little ridiculous.

Because they waited to hear what was presented before making a decision as important as this. No, the morons are the ones that allow themselves to be lead by the collar by someone else and allow that someone else to do their thinking for them.

They also offer a view without Rasmussen and give access to the data that shows Rasmussen tends to lean right.
