| The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows President Obama attracting support from 50% of voters nationwide, while Mitt Romney earns the vote from 47%. Two percent (2%) prefer some other candidate, and two percent (2%) are undecided.
|
Comments: This is sobering news because, when "leaners" are included, Obama has now hit the magic 50% level. More bad news -- Obama leads 51% to 45% in the swing states. Still more bad news -- Rasmussen says the numbers are not likely to change much the rest of the way, even with the debates (although he does note that even a small change could prove decisive).

A quote from an article (translated into English) from the Prager Zeitung, a publication in the Czech Republic, dated 18 April 2011.
“The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting an inexperienced man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America . Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama. It is less likely to survive a multitude of Idiots such as those who made him their president.”

If obama should by some terrible luck be re-elected pres., I would have to question whether this country is still the greatest in the world.The fact that millions of babies are murdered every year legally in the U.S.now raises that question also.You can be sure God is watching and will act some day.

50% for Obama + 47% for Romney + 2% other + 2% undecided = 51% of the voters

If this is indeed accurate, then it's like a mass suicide pact. More accurately, perhaps, it's an assisted suicide. Assisted by the Marxists who have been feverishly infesting every single institution in our country - schools, churches, media, entertainment, government. We're being conquered from within.
Where the heck is the resistance?

Stop. The popular vote does not determine the winner. That's why there's an electoral college.
Having said that, the polls are bogus to determine outcome, they're snapshots in time, not an ending tally. Don't believe your lying eyes with the oh so honest media shoveling these numbers at you.
Romney/Ryan in a landslide.

I also do not understand how Obama has managed to reach 50%. The economy is in shambles as is his feckless foreign policy. Could it be because this is a weekend poll? But even so, how does he manage to stay so close?

Educational system, media, Hollywood, unions - all pushing a liberal agenda that far too many have bought into (or should I say sold their votes for?) 40+ years of a growing underclass of people, all too willing to take a government handout rather than work has gotten us to the tipping point as a nation. These people brag about how much they get from "Obama" rather than be ashamed of it. They don't care about anything happening in the Middle East, Russia, the economy or the doctors' offices. They don't care if they are being lied to and bought off. A girl in my 7th grader's class last Friday said her momma doesn't have to work because Obama gives them money for everything. This is the mentality that gives the liberals power and they have been far too successful in promoting it. We have lost America and the American spirit. Sad days are ahead.

Any comparisons to election in 1980 are not valid. This is a much different country than it was 32 years ago. Since 1980 the USA has been overrun with mass, uncontrolled illegal alien invaders who overloaded our systems with millions of functionally illiterate, net tax recipients who vote 95 percent democrat.

#4, Drudge would not be cherry picking polls if the mainstream media would focus on real issues like the coverup in Libya, rather than how badly Romney is doing in the polls. Keep it up, Drudge!

The only poll that counts is Nov 6...as always this is within the 3-5% error rate and as ALWAYS depends on the enthusiasm of the voters...in other words if we took a poll in Dec 1776 on whether or not Washington would be alive in 1777 it would have been 90%-10% saying he would be dead

#13 makes the most salient point. This has been in the works for decades. The media take over, educational system infiltration, mass importing of poverty in the form of illegals, and the growth of government dependence including union employees has gotten us here.
The proper response is for all producers in this nation to go on general strike, a la Atlas Shrugged, to hasten the collapse. But we won't and we'll degenerate into a socialist hell for 50 more years, a la Europe.

Polling by electoral vote population may yield different results than this one. Having a 10 point lead in a blue state does not help a red state voting demographic. The press may be suppressing the Obama vote by reporting that it's over. We will see......

There are approximating 218 Million people who are eligible to vote in the US.
The pollsters are sampling 1500 of them (.000688%, 6.88ppm) over the phone and telling us that is how it is.....
"Daily tracking results are collected via telephone surveys of 500 likely voters per night and reported on a three-day rolling average basis. To reach those who have abandoned traditional landline telephones, Rasmussen Reports uses an online survey tool to interview randomly selected participants from a demographically diverse panel. The margin of sampling error for the full sample of 1,500 Likely Voters is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence."

Sen. John McCain says he doesn´t understand the threats from some of his Republican colleagues to filibuster a bill on background checks to buy guns. "I don´t understand it," the Arizona Republican said on Sunday of the threat coming from Sen. Rand Paul,Sen. Ted Cruz, Sen. Mike Lee and nine other Republicans. "The purpose of the United States Senate is to debate and to vote and to let the people know where we stand.” "What are we afraid of? ...

North Korea’s young leader Kim Jong-un is waiting for United States President Barack Obama to make a phone call to Pyongyang to discuss easing tensions on the Korean peninsula, according to Russia’s news agency Itar-Tass. The report cited United Kingdom diplomats, saying Pyongyang was demanding the U.S. president personally call Kim Jong-un as one of the conditions to relieve the current conflict at hand. Itar-Tass also quoted the U.K.’s Sky News as saying North Korea currently has eight nuclear warheads.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

HARTFORD, Conn. -- With time running out on the chance to pass gun control legislation, President Barack Obama on Monday warned Congress not to use delaying tactics against tighter regulations and told families of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims that he´s "determined as ever" to honor their children with tougher laws. Obama´s gun control proposals have run into resistance on Capitol Hill, leaving their fate in doubt. Efforts by Senate Democrats to reach compromise with Republicans over expanding required federal background checks have yet to yield an agreement, and conservatives were promising to try

Los Angeles — Some people have had it with TV. They´ve had enough of the 100-plus channel universe. They don´t like timing their lives around network show schedules. They´re tired of $100-plus monthly bills. A growing number of them have stopped paying for cable and satellite TV service, and don´t even use an antenna to get free signals over the air. (Snip) Last month, the Nielsen Co. started labeling people in this group "Zero TV" households, because they fall outside the traditional definition of a TV home. There are 5 million of these residences in the U.S., up from

Annette Funicello, the dark-haired darling of TV´s “The Mickey Mouse Club” in the 1950s who further cemented her status as a pop-culture icon in the ´60s by teaming with Frankie Avalon in a popular series of “beach” movies, died Monday. She was 70. Funicello, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1987 and became a spokeswoman for treatment of the chronic, often-debilitating disease of the central nervous system, died at Mercy Southwest Hospital in Bakersfield, Walt Disney Co. spokesman Howard Green said.

Clinton, 33, essentially said "maybe" in an interview that aired Monday on NBC´s Today show. "Right now I´m grateful to live in a city, a state and a country where I strongly support my mayor, my governor, my president and my senators and my representative," said Clinton, whose father, Bill, was president from 1993-2001 and her mother, Hillary

More than 700 Special Operations veterans are urging members of Congress to back a select committee to investigate last year’s Benghazi terrorist attack, according to a letter first obtained by Fox News. The letter from the group, “Special Operations Speaks,” supports the appointment of a special committee tasked with the single mission of investigating the attack that left Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans dead, and shut down the CIA operation in an annex of the Benghazi consulate, in the Sept. 11, 2012 attack. “Congress must show some leadership and provide answers to the public

Beginning a week of high pressure on gun control, the White House on Monday accused some Republican senators of cowardice for planning to filibuster gun legislation without allowing the full Senate to vote on President Obama’s initiatives. “If they oppose this legislation, have the courage to say so on the floor and vote no,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “Don’t block it. Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

There was growing buzz over the weekend that a bipartisan agreement on gun control — a deal that would expand background checks — could hit the floor as early as this week. However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.
