Rasmussen shows a continued bounce for Obama

"Monday, September 10, 2012
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows President Obama attracting support from 50% of voters nationwide, while Mitt Romney earns 45% of the vote. Two percent (2%) prefer some other candidate, and three percent (3%) are undecided.
This is the president’s biggest lead over Romney among Likely Voters since March 17. See daily tracking history. Obama’s convention bounce has been more significant than Romney’s. As with all bounces, it remains to be seen how long it will last."
Also, approval ratings locked in, for now, at 52%.
A few points after the squiggle
1. Obama hits 50% in this Rasmussen poll. A very important threshold.
2. Rasmussen's partisan makeup continues to be based on a +2% GOP edge. A GOP edge of any kind in partisan identification has not happened, in a general election, in decades. And, according to Rasmussen he now finds Democrats just as fired up and excited about the election as Republicans. So, the true head to head numbers are likely to be even better for Obama.
3. Friday's jobs numbers had no impact whatsoever on Obama's bounce, despite the MSM's best effort to paint it that way. Jobs numbers are baked in by now, and, if anything, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama reminding the nation that Republican obstructionism in Congress had a job stifling effect may have made the tepid jobs numbers even more of a reason to disdain the GOP and their standard bearer.
