Rasmussen Tracking: Romney 50%, Obama 43%

Published May 11, 2012 1:50pm ET



Mitt Romney has his biggest lead yet over Obama in Rasmussen’s tracking poll: 

This is the first time Romney has reached the 50% level of support and is his largest lead ever over the president. It comes a week after a disappointing jobs report that raised new questions about the state of the economy.

The tracking poll is an average of three days worth of polling–including two days worth of news about Obama’s endorsement of gay marriage.
