Today it is 48% Romney and 45% Obama. Rasmussen says the convention bounce has disappeared. We'll see if next week the lagging polls follow suit.

Voters say Romney does not provide sufficient details on policy and, more importantly, voters trust Obama more on handling the economy!

In mid September 2008, Rasmussen had McCain leading. Did McCain win?

October 30th, 2008. Rasmussen Reports...

Montana: McCain Leads Obama By 8

November 4th, 2008. McCain wins by 2.2%

That's in the margin of Rasmussen Reports error, right?

That's what it all boils down to in the end - who wins what states. Right now, Romney is behind in OH, VA and FL. Romney doesn't have a path to 270 if he doesn't win these. And that is true even if he polls ahead of Obama on the national level.
