Rasmussen shows Obama leading in Missouri following Todd Akin controversy

Source: examiner.com/rasmussen

Rasmussen has now provided the strongest evidence yet that the impact of Rep. Todd Akin’s (R-MO) “legitimate rape” remarks may extend beyond the Missouri senate race. According to Rasmussen’s poll, released today, President Obama lead in Missouri with 47% of likely voters, compared to 46% for Mitt Romney. In late July, Rasmussen had Romney leading in Missouri with 50% of the vote compared to 44% for Obama. Rasmussen has generally trended Republican over the last decade, and was considered a fairly safe state for Romney this year. In 2008 President Obama lost Missouri even though he won the overall electoral vote count 365-173.

Same with Fake news poll where now they have Mittens up 1% over Pres O. Ras, Fake, and Gallup, CBS and a few I others I don't put much trust in.

I will say that Pres O and VP Biden will get four more years tho despite all the negative in the corporate media, hate radio and countless books and documentaries, voter suppression laws and purging.

Seniors are the last voting block the party of greed just can't lose this cycle, and from what I'm reading, the tide is moving towards the Dems re: who will protect Medicare...

Who is protect women's rights; who will protect "freedom" - religion; who will protect voting rights; who will protect workers rights' and the list goes on.

Plus I don't think Americans are ready for another major conflict like a war Iran. Shit you have the party of pro-life but these people love guns and wars.
