Rasmussen: Mitt Romney leads Obama. Was behind 5% last time.

In a very early look at Election 2012, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama are essentially even.

A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows Romney attracting 43% of the vote while Obama earns support from 42%. In April, Obama held a five-point edge over Romney.

[...]

Romney leads by seven among men but trails by five among women. The president leads among voters under 40 while Romney has the edge among older voters.

The former Governor leads by eight among unaffiliated voters and picks up 78% of the Republican vote. The president earns 84% of the vote from his own party.
Head-To-Head:

Mitt Romney 43% (40%)
Barack Obama 42% (45%)
The match-up surveys of 1,000 Likely Voters were conducted from June 24-July 17, 2011 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error for the surveys is +/- 3% with a 95% level of confidence.

That's quite a gain Rev. I would think our fellow Rombots would be celebrating.

The numbers look good! But I think people need to be cautious about all of the polls, especially the PPP in PA today.

I take them with a grain of salt.
