All right let's go to the November election and the polls the latest Rasmussen tracking poll has President Obama with 50% of the vote Mitt Romney 47%.
Scott Rasmussen from Rasmussen Reports is in New Jersey.
-- those numbers were released just a few minutes ago and it suggests.
That the Rasmussen tracking poll now reflects a -- is reflective although the national trend towards President Obama.
Absolutely President Obama has a slight edge at this point in time.
But for anybody to take these numbers and saw the election's over is a misreading of what we're saying.
In each of the last two elections between October 1 and Election Day.
The results of -- at about three points so we're not sure that we'll continue this time around her which direction it will shift.
But this race very competitive with three debates a vice presidential debate a couple of jobs reports and events in the Middle East still to come.
All right next one Sutton vote as the people who say yes I am -- going to vote it going to vote.
That shows 42%.
Romney 41% -- President Obama now.
That's and uncommitted at 17%.
-- -- -- -- -- That's that's right just it's essentially a tossup in the uncommitted -- -- -- bulls this includes people who say yeah I'm gonna vote for President Obama but I might change my mind I'm gonna vote for Mitt Romney but could change online.
Most of those people won't change their mind.
But they're not completely sold one of the reasons that this helps -- looking better for Mitt Romney.
Seniors are far more likely to be certain of their vote than younger adults people under forty still trying to consider different options.

Well actually a month ago was a little bit worse but it is this is a very depressing number.
And -- give you a sense of scale store in the Great Depression 37%.
Thought the next generation would better off.
This pessimism is driving the election it is driving the economy right now I don't I mean I don't get.
There's -- I don't get it if if people think.
And that is six out of ten people think my kids are gonna be worse off than me.
Why is President Obama for years into his into his -- YSE out front.
Because people haven't been convinced that Mitt Romney is any better -- we take those uncommitted voters were talking about.
Most of them -- on the economies -- get better Barack Obama is reelected only 14% think there'll be an improved economy if the president is reelected.
But only 28%.
Think things will get better if Mitt Romney wins Romney has not.
Closed the sale by convincing people that he will be any different.
Well we hope to have you back on the program must frequently as possible -- you're tracking poll is I think one of the most accurate now that we appreciate being with -- against -- -- --
