Daily Presidential Tracking Poll
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows Mitt Romney attracting 47% of the vote, while President Obama earns support from 44%. Five percent (5%) prefer some other candidate, and four percent (4%) are undecided.
Romney has a 20-point advantage among white voters. Obama is supported by 91% of black voters and 57% of other minority voters.
A third of Americans favor a ban on all television political advertising. Scott Rasmussen, president of Rasmussen Reports, says the data “suggests many Americans view political campaigns and political advertising as a form of civic pollution.” Just 43% believe American elections are fair to voters.

Most voters have not yet felt any personal impact from the president’s health care law. Overall, 15% have been helped by the law and 25% have been hurt. As they have consistently for years, most Americans believe cost control should be the top priority for health care reform. Only 23% rate providing coverage for the uninsured as most important.
There is a high level concern about violence in video games, movies, and TV. Most believe violence in entertainment leads to more violence in society. However, by a 58% to 31% margin, Americans believe protecting freedom of speech is more important than limiting media violence.
Republicans hold a three-point advantage on the Generic Congressional Ballot. This lead is a bit smaller than the Republicans enjoyed in 2010.
Despite the continuing violence in Syria, most voters still want the United States to stay uninvolved. Just 21% support providing military assistance.
