Romney has hit the 50% mark in the combined swing states, Obama 46^


Rasmussen's Saturday Swing State Tracking Poll: Romney 50%, Obama 46% 
In the 11 swing states, Mitt Romney earns 50% of the vote to Obama’s 46%.  One percent (1%) likes another candidate in the race, and three percent (3%) are undecided.

This marks the first time that Romney has hit the 50% mark in the combined swing states. Obama reached the 50% mark again on Wednesday, but Romney bounced back as responses since Tuesday’s presidential debate entered the mix. Because this survey is conducted on a rolling seven-day basis, just over half the responses in today’s update still come from before that debate. Tomorrow’s update will be the first in which the majority of the responses follow the most recent debate.

In 2008, Obama won these states by a combined margin of 53% to 46%, virtually identical to his national margin.
