2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumIf you are worried about that poll showing Trump ahead, read this.
Tuesday, November 08, 2012The Rasmussen Reports Daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday, Nov. 6, 2012 Election Day 2012 - gives GOP presidential challenger Mitt Romney 49% of the nations voters support to President Barack Obamas 48%. Two percent favors another candidate on Election Day.
This poll indicates the same numbers that were reported yesterday regarding Romney and Obama.
Naturally, this is the last of the Rasmussen Reports Daily Presidential Tracking Polls of the 2012 presidential election cycle.
The data includes not only people who are likely voters but also people who have already voted. Romney leads with people who say they are likely to vote while Obama leads with people who have already voted.
Of the voters in the most recent daily poll, 39% say they are Democrats and 37% say they are Republicans. Mitt Romney has a 9% advantage with those who are not affiliated with either of the nations two primary political Parties.
Interestingly, Rasmussen reports that 27% of Americans report that this presidential election has had a negative impact on peoples relationship with a friend or a family member.
In todays report, Rasmussen makes a comment regarding the importance of race in this presidential election. Last election, 74% of the voters were white. Opinions regarding an increase or decrease in the percentage of voters being white in this election varies. Previously, it has been reported by various pollsters that nearly all black voters are voting for Obama. It was also previously reported that less than half of white voters support Obama. Thereby, Rasmussen suggests that Obama will lose if white voters come out in force while Romney will lose if they do not.
According to Rasmussen, 46% say they are quite certain they are voting for Romney and 45% are certain they are voting for Obama.

(1,999 posts)With their including a fantasy "another candidate" choice in the polling. Rasmussen knows full well that there aren't any mystery candidates that will appear on the ballot in November but haven't been revealed yet. If they wanted to include third-party candidates, the honest way would've been to include Johnson and Stein as options. But "another candidate" was their flagrant attempt to cater to anybody who wishes Bernie Sanders would run third-party (spoiler alert: he won't) in order to further lower Hillary's numbers.
