Romney Gains 10 in Rasmussen VA Poll (and Good News on Voter Registration Drives)
Poll to be released at 12EST will show Romney up 45-44 over Obama. He trailed by 9 previously, and in that poll the D/R split was R+3. Now? Even, so with a more Democratic sample he still jumped ahead.
This confirms the Roanoke Poll giving Romney a lead just weeks ago.
Also, Republicans have managed to annihilate the Democrats' voter registration efforts of 2008 in Iowa. Before November 2008, President Obama enjoyed winning the state in part to a +100k voter registration advantage. In a WSJ article in March, Republicans had shrunk that to just 3k. Well, since that primary, Republicans have registered even more voters, and it is now official: as of April 2012, there are now more registered Republcans than Democrats in the state. In fact, the margin is larger now than it was in 2004, when President Bush (barely) carried it.
I will link up the Rasmussen poll once it is officially released.
