The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Wisconsin Voters shows the president and his Republican challenger each earning 49% support. One percent (1%) likes another candidate, and two percent (2%) are undecided. A week ago, the president held a slight 50% to 48% lead. Earlier in the month, he was ahead 51% to 49%. Ninety-six percent (96%) of Badger State voters say they are sure to vote in this election. Romney leads 51% to 47% among these voters. Among the 90% who say theyâve already made up their minds whom they will vote for, itâs Romney 51%, Obama 48%. Romney has a six-point lead over Obama â 50% to 44% - among all voters in the state when they are asked which candidate they trust more to handle the economy. http://www.rasmussenreports.com/pub...n/wisconsin/election_2012_wisconsin_president
Mitt Romney is now tied with Barack Obama in Wisconsin, one of the 'firewall' states the president hoped would protect him against defeats in Florida and Virginia, according to a new poll. Rasmussen found that Romney and Obama were tied on 49 per cent in the state, which Obama won in a 14-point landslide in 2008. Buoyed by internal polling which shows similar numbers, Romney is to head to Wisconsin next week, as first reported by MailOnline last Tuesday. He will hold a rally in the Milwaukee area on Tuesday morning. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...aws-level-President-safe-state-Wisconsin.html
Intrade is offering Romney-win-Wisconsin at around 31/100. Sounds like a good deal, if you think he'll win. Nate Silver, whose multi-poll analysis makes more sense than Rasmussen alone, puts the odds of Romney winning around 15%. Still, if you think Romney will win, all you have to do now is borrow money from your parents, so you can place a bet on Intrade.
