(2,117 posts)1. The best part,
this lead came after the convention bounce had totally dissipated, and now it's just as big as the convention bounce. They can call it a sugar high or whatever they want, but this lead is reality now. And Mitt has no one to thank but himself for it.

(24,689 posts)5. yes, good point. This appears to be a stable lead now.. post convention.
I suspect this is more a result of Mittens dumb comments about the 47%.

Apparently he's been practicing zingers for the debates and that will take him over the top.

(99,710 posts)6. I Believe It's Sample Of 3,000 Voters
That means the m.o.e is 2.1% at a .095 confidence
In other words there is a nineteen out of twenty chance Obama is leading anywhere from four to ten points in this poll.

(10,942 posts)7. Given that it is Rasmussen, I will go with a 10% Obama lead.
Rasmussen has a historical bias toward the republican in his polls, that bias is larger than the MOE.
