If you are worried about that poll showing Trump ahead, read this.

Tuesday, November 08, 2012


The Rasmussen Reports Daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday, Nov. 6, 2012 – Election Day 2012 - gives GOP presidential challenger Mitt Romney 49% of the nation’s voters’ support to President Barack Obama’s 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 nation’s two primary political Parties.

Interestingly, Rasmussen reports that 27% of Americans report that this presidential election has had a negative impact on people’s relationship with a friend or a family member.

In today’s 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.

Close Poll Indicates Chuck Grassley Is In The Senate Race Of His Career

A new poll reveals that Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) is in the race of his Senate career against Democratic opponent Patty Judge.

Judge – the former lieutenant governor – is within striking distance of the seven-term senator, polling at 45 percent among likely voters compared to Grassley's 46 percent.

The Loras College poll released Thursday was its first since Trump and Clinton won their respective primaries. It suggested Grassley may be more vulnerable in his re-election after refusing to hold hearings on President Barack Obama's Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland. Christopher Budzisz, the director of the poll, also added that Republican nominee Donald Trump–who was trailing Hillary Clinton by double digits statewide in the poll, may also be a drag on Grassley.

The poll revealed, however, that many people are still skeptical Grassley can be beat. Even with Judge within a single point of Grassley, 70 percent said they thought Grassley would keep his seat in November.
