Rasmussen claims in his update today that he can't predict which way the race will go, and now has the race tied at 49-49.

But considering that Obama erased the lead Romney had in Rasmussen last week, AND has Approval Ratings at 50%+, Rasmussen may suspect that Obama is going to win but wants to keep the fires burning for the Republican voters for another day or two longer.

Btw, Rasmussen claims that Romney is at 58% of the white vote and that he thinks the Obama campaign may be off in their predictions of the Latino vote increasing from 2008 and the white vote may actually be larger in 2012 than in 2008 etc.

Pure demography and issues at stake mean Latin vote will also be up
