Gallup Rasmussen Poll Average: August 17, 2012
The Rasmussen Tracking poll today shows President Obama with a 46% – 45% lead Romney while Gallup’s Tracking poll shows Romney maintaining a lead of 47% – 45%.
The average of these two polls is now showing the Romney/Ryan campaign with 46.0% and the Obama/Biden at 45.5%.
The average approval rate for President Obama is now negative 4.5% meaning that 4.5% more of those polled disapprove of the Presidents job performance than approve of it. The average approval rating for the President was 46.0% and the average disapproval was 50.5%. Both items were unchanged from yesterday but for the first time the Gallup Poll reported consecutive days with a disapproval rating of 50% for President Obama.
In an examination of all polls published after August 13th and applying them to the elector count, if the election were held today and the most recent polls are accurate Romney would win the presidency over Obama by an electoral vote of 282 – 256

McCurdy Renovation Began Today: Power of Publication in Action
First I went to the McCurdy and talked to guy working on the McCurdy. He was joking saying he was the first person to begin the renovations. He was just working on the awnings but said that in about 2 weeks there are going to be about 20 people arriving on the site to begin renovations. He said his grandfather worked on the building back in 1917 when it was first built. He said
they are going to put condos/lofts in there with a grand ballroom at the bottom.
