Rasmussen Reports has Trump ahead by 4 Points [View all]

I used to work at a racetrack and the best way to assess how a horse would finish in a race was by studying "past performances (PP's)". That's why, if you go to a racetrack, you see all those old guys charting and studying prior races.

Having said that, I researched Rasmussen's "PP's", and here's what I found. A article on their website in November of 2012 with this headline "Romney Beats Obama Handily". Kinda sounds like Truman-Dewey circa 1948.
