Wednesday, October 17, 2012
Wasington, D.C. - Today’s Reuters/Ipsos daily voting tracker was released this morning. It shows Obama with a three-point lead: 47% vs. 44%. This is our standard four-day rolling tracker (pulled every morning) and therefore contains very few post-debate interviews.

Wednesday, September 26, 2012
Washington, D.C. - An Ipsos analysis of over 20,000 interviews collected between July and September shows that Americans of voting age who are least likely to have Government-issued Identification are younger (18-24 years old) and of a lower educational attainment.

Thursday, September 13, 2012
Washington, D.C. - Obama’s ‘bump’ has staying power; he is now leading Romney by 7 points.
Wednesday, September 12, 2012
Washington, D.C. - The Ipsos/Reuters September Political Poll collected by telephone, released this morning is attached. This data was collected after the end of the Democratic convention (Fri-Mon). There are some notable changes from last month:
Tuesday, September 11, 2012
Washington, D.C. - Reuters/Ipsos daily poll finds Obama down two points to 46% and Romney steady on 43%. Obama’s post-convention bump seems to be settling into about a 3-point lead.
Monday, September 10, 2012
Washington, D.C. - Reuters/Ipsos daily poll finds Obama on 48% and Romney on 43%. It seems that the Convention Bump has sustained for another day, and Obama enters the post-Convention season in the lead.
Saturday, September 08, 2012
Washington, D.C. - The bump has sustained – best illustrated in the charts attached. Obama is now on 47% and Romney on 43% - this is a one point change from yesterday for both candidates. Again, this is within the credibility interval, but indicates that yesterday’s movement was the beginning of a bump rather than statistical ‘noise’. Today’s data shows a significant change in both candidates’ ratings compared to three days ago – Obama up three and Romney down three.
Friday, September 07, 2012
Washington - We may be seeing the beginning of a Convention bump for the President: Obama is up 2 points to 46% and Romney down one point to 44% among Likely Voters. The shifts are within the credibility interval for both candidates, but the direction of both does suggest the beginning of a post-Convention ‘bump’; tomorrow’s data will provide more clarity.
Thursday, September 06, 2012
Washington, D.C. - On the third day of the Democratic Convention, Obama’s voting intention score remains flatlined on 44%, with Romney on 45%. There is, however, usually a ‘lag’ to convention bumps, so it is possible we will still see movement in the next few days.
Wednesday, September 05, 2012
Washington, D.C. - Day 10 of Ipsos’ daily convention poll tracking shows little movement in voting intention, with Obama ticking down one point from yesterday. The vast majority of interviews in this dataset will have taken place before Michelle Obama’s speech last night. As you can see from the pie charts (see sidebar) 61% of Americans have seen ‘nothing at all’ or ‘just a little bit’ about the Democratic Convention.
Tuesday, September 04, 2012
Washington, D.C. - Obama and Romney remain essentially tied, with Romney on 46% to Obama’s 45%. As we head into the Democratic National Convention today, the President will seek to shore up his credibility on the number one issue for Americans, the economy. He has his work cut out for him: with 75% of Americans saying that they feel things are ‘off on the wrong track’ on this issue, it will be an uphill battle.
Sunday, September 02, 2012
Washington, D.C. - Day seven of Convention tracking shows Obama and Romney tied on 45%. This signals that we’re not likely to see a sustained bump for Romney. As we go into next week’s convention, Romney will struggle to maintain even footing with the President; we’ll likely see a shift back towards Obama. The question is if, and how long, the Democrats can maintain any boost that the Convention brings them.
Saturday, September 01, 2012
Washington, D.C. - Day six of Ipsos’ convention tracking finds Obama leading by one point (44% vs. 43%), which is a switch from yesterday’s 1-point lead for Romney. This suggests that the ‘bump’ is already muted and we’re unlikely to see much more movement.
Friday, August 31, 2012
Washington, D.C. - Day five of Ipsos’ convention tracking shows Romney holding steady against Obama. Our take on the convention so far is that it is doing exactly what it needed to for Romney: improving his ‘likeability’ factor.
Thursday, August 30, 2012
Washington, D.C. - Day four of Ipsos’ convention tracking shows some positive movement for the Republicans. We have also put the ‘candidate attributes’ questions into charts to help with visualizing how the numbers have been shifting over the course of the Convention. As you will see, some of the personal attributes we’re tracking are going slowly up for Romney, and down for Obama. This is also reflected in Romney’s increasing share of the vote – Romney is now leading Obama by two points.
Wednesday, August 29, 2012
Washington, D.C. - Obama and Romney are now tied (at 43%) on the third day of the Reuters/Ipsos rolling daily convention tracking poll.
Tuesday, August 28, 2012
Washington, D.C. - Since the Convention didn’t start in earnest until today, it is unlikely we will see much Convention-related shift so far. The topline now includes a column for ‘Non-Aligned Registered Voters’ – these are people who do not choose Obama or Romney at the Voting Intention Question Q3 (and choose any of Wouldn’t vote/None/Other/Refused/Don’t know). Here are a few highlights from the poll:
Monday, August 27, 2012
Washington, D.C. - In the first poll of the Republican National Convention, Ipsos provides ‘benchmark’ metrics for a host of variables which will be tracked over the course of the Conventions this week and next. It will be interesting to see how these measures shift over the course of the Conventions. One of our questions from today’s poll asks about traits of the two candidates:
