The current Rasmussen Polls I see are:

Obama over Paul by 1
Romney over Obama by 2

I am guessing that the poster is referring to all the RushBeck O'Hannity listeners.

The Jennifer Fluke episode is also backfiring on the Democrats as well, now that we all know that the 'war on women' as well as the equally hideous 'war on religion' and yet another has been engineered by the Democrats, and not the GOP.
Yes, incredible as it seems, that is the latest conspiracy theory from Limbaugh- that Sandra Fluke was planted by the women-hating Dems to make him look like a misogynistic pig- and he fell into their devious trap!!! But don't worry- the Fluke conspiracy has been discovered, and is now BACKFIRING on those rascally Dems

Uh, yeah... good luck with that

That CBS/NYT poll now looks like an outlier. 12% undecided??? WTF?

Here's a summary of seven recent polls. Obama's averaging around 47% approval:

Be cautious reps; approval rating does not translate into votes. There are a number of reasons why people might not approve of Obama's job, but that does not mean that they will vote for Romney.
This is so true. I suspect the bible belt mouthbreathers will sit on their hands.

What poll are you watching, one made up. I am watching the news as i type. If the elections were held to day, mind you Romeny would win over Obama, 49% to 47%.

Blamed on the handling of a weaken economy, high gas prices, war, unemployment, and housing crisis. Watching now. 46% Approve of the job done.

They polled people who said, they want someone with business smarts, who can get the economy moving, people across this Country.

Watching news now March 14, these are the numbers, not pulled out of the air.

We can read every poll until the cows come home, and they'll still mean nothing. It still boils down to people looking for work, a bad economy, and a failed president. People intent on doing something about it will take appropriate action come November.

It won't matter when the Republican candidate wins Pennsylvania, the aforementioned Florida and Ohio, and one or two other swing states in the upcoming election.

Because he will.
