[TroyD]

(Well, at least it's better than some of the other polls that are out. But last month Obama was (+12) in Rasmussen. Thing is, it appears Obama didn't go down. He was 51 then and he's 51 now. Difference is that Romney jumped 7 points from 39 to 46.)

But this week Rasmussen appears to actually be putting out fair numbers compared to some other pollsters.

3. Obama just needs to reassure some wavering voters in the next debate

and he will be fine.
