Even Rasmussen has Obama up now

Bet we won't see a "Shock poll!" headline from Drudge on this one:

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows President Obama attracting 47% of the vote, while Mitt Romney earns support from 45%. Four percent (4%) prefer some other candidate, and four percent (4%) are undecided.

Yeah, it was decent, but no way in hell did it actually bump Obama from being down -3 to ahead +2. Their tracking poll is just bad in general.

Tracking polls should be ignored, particularly Rasmussen's.
