Rasmussen: OBAMA (+2)

Thursday, October 04, 2012

Rasmussen Tracking - Obama +2

Obama - 49

Romney - 47

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows President Obama attracting support from 49% of voters nationwide, while Mitt Romney earns the vote from 47%. One percent (1%) prefers some other candidate, and three percent (3%) are undecided. See daily tracking history.

It is important to note, however, that most of the interviews for this survey were conducted before last night’s first presidential debate between Obama and Romney. The daily Presidential Trackng Poll is based on telephone interviews of 500 likely voters per night and reported on a three-day rolling average basis.

Early indications are that Romney was the big winner last night, but just 17% of voters view the debates as Very Important to how they will vote.
