On May 8th, I posted a Rasmussen poll showing Romney in the lead, 49 to 44 percent.
Today, Rasmussen says that if Ron Paul remains in the race, Romney will defeat Obummer FIFTY to 43 percent.
You'll remember that Ron Paul's presence was widely expected to hurt the GOP candidate more than Obummer. It doesn't seem to be working out that way...
Momentum continues to build for Romney.

Daily Presidential Tracking Poll
RasmussenReports.com
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows Mitt Romney earning 50% of the vote and President Obama attracting 43% support. Four percent (4%) would vote for a third party candidate, while another three percent (3%) are undecided.
Matchup results are updated daily at 9:30 a.m. Eastern (sign up for free daily e-mail update).
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.
