Rasmussen Shock Poll. Obama by 3 Points

I'm just trying to be like Drudge.

The polls don't mean a thing this early and swing by wide margins, even from day to day or week to week.

Just a week or so ago, Obama trailed Romney by 7 points, now Obama leads by 3. That's a 10 point swing in about 10 days.

I don't make much out of it and neither should Drudge when the numbers swing in the other direction, temporarily.

His polls give a 4-5% advantage to republican candidates. His poll showing Obama up by 3 means Obama's lead is closer to 8 points.

I'm sure Obama is up much more than 3 points.

Wonder what the truth is - how much the President is really up in the polls.
