Saturday, October 20, 2012
Washington, D.C. - Saturday’s Reuters/Ipsos Daily Tracking poll shows Romney moving up two points to 45%, while Obama remains on 46%. This one-point lead for Obama suggests a slight narrowing of the race.
Friday, October 19, 2012
Washington, D.C. - Today’s Reuters/Ipsos Daily Tracking poll shows yet another three-point lead, although both candidates have ticked down one point: Obama 46% vs. Romney 43%. Obama appears to be holding steady with a small lead.

Wednesday, October 17, 2012
Washington, D.C. - Full details of the Reuters / Ipsos Presidential Debate #2 poll is attached, which includes pre-post findings:
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.

Sunday, October 14, 2012
Washington, D.C. - Today’s poll gives Obama a one-point lead: Obama is on 46% to Romney’s 45%. This is a one point increase for Obama and a one point drop for Romney compared to Friday’s data.
Friday, October 12, 2012
Washington, D.C. - The Reuters / Ipsos VP Debate poll shows that the debate energized both bases, and tips debate ‘victory’ towards Biden:
Friday, October 12, 2012

Thursday, October 11, 2012
Washington, D.C. - Today’s poll shows that Romney has extended his lead to three points, compared to one point yesterday. Romney is now at 47% to Obama’s 44% among likely voters, a gain of two points for Romney.
Wednesday, October 10, 2012
Washington, D.C. - Today’s data gives a one-point lead to Mitt Romney: Obama is on 44% to Romney’s 45%. This is a one-point drop for Obama since yesterday.
Tuesday, October 09, 2012

Sunday, October 07, 2012
Washington, D.C. - Today’s voting intention numbers are unchanged from yesterday: Obama on 47% and Romney on 45%. The debate seems to have narrowed the race, but Romney has a bit further to go to close the gap.

Wednesday, September 26, 2012
Washington, D.C. - Today's voting data shows little change from yesterday, with Obama on 49% and Romney on 43%. This is a one-point change for Romney from Sept 25th (data also included here). Obama’s lead has been very consistent and steady for the past two weeks.
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. People less likely to have ID are also – perhaps not surprisingly – less likely to vote. They are also more likely to fall in the lowest income bracket and to be of Hispanic or ‘Other’ ethnicity.
Tuesday, September 25, 2012
Washington, D.C. - Voting intention data from Tuesday shows Obama at 49% and Romney at 42, with Romney falling one point from Monday.
Monday, September 24, 2012

Washington, D.C. - The Reuters / Ipsos daily tracking poll has Romney on 43% (no change from yesterday) and Obama up one point to 48%.
Tuesday, September 18, 2012
Washington, D.C. - Perhaps ironically, today’s data shows 47% of Likely Voters planning to vote for Obama, and 43% for Mitt Romney. Obama retains a lead of four points, although his lead has declined a few points in the past few days (see attached graphic for reference).
Monday, September 17, 2012
Washington, DC - Obama retains lead of 5 points, at 48% to Romney’s 43%.
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:

Monday, March 05, 2012

Tuesday, February 07, 2012
Washington, D.C. - Ipsos’ latest nation-wide telephone poll carried out on behalf of Reuters and published on Tuesday, February 7, 2012 shows that:
Friday, January 27, 2012
Washington, D.C. - In our ongoing Florida Republican Primary tracking, we find Mitt Romney building a respectable lead over Newt Gingrich.
Friday, January 20, 2012
Washington, D.C. - The results of the latest Reuters-Ipsos poll of the South Carolina Republican Primary shows Mitt Romney continues to lead all other Republicans (Q5) by a significant margin of 12 percentage points. Even if the contest came down to a direct head-to-head clash between Romney and Gingrich (as Perry’s impending announcement indicates is closer to being a reality), Romney still wins substantially (Q6).
Monday, January 16, 2012
Washington, D.C. - Ipsos' latest poll of South Carolina registered voters, conducted on behalf of Thomson Reuters, shows Mitt Romney with a significant lead.
Tuesday, January 10, 2012

Wednesday, December 14, 2011
Washington, D.C. - Ipsos' latest poll carried out on behalf of Thomson Reuters shows a rally for Newt Gingrich among Republicans… but this popularity doesn’t translate into political strength when it comes to the national Presidential race, where Romney fares much better against Obama than Gingrich does.
Monday, November 21, 2011
Washington, DC - Ipsos’ latest poll, published by Thomson Reuters on November 20th, finds that the recent Freddie Mac controversy has not impacted greatly on Gingrich’s ratings. Indeed, compared to our previous poll on the subject, Cain and Romney have both dropped off as Gingrich has moved up the ranking. Regardless of this movement, however, Romney is still the presumptive nominee among both the general public and among Registered Voter Republicans (34% among all and 42% among RV Republicans).
Monday, November 14, 2011
Washington, DC - Ipsos has undertaken an overnight poll on behalf of Thomson Reuters on the subject of Republican Presidential Candidate Rick Perry’s gaffe at the recent Republican debate in Michigan. This poll, published today, showed participants a video excerpt from the debate in order to assess possible impact on viewers.
Sunday, November 06, 2011
Washington, DC - Ipsos' latest poll, carried out on behalf of Thomson Reuters and published today, shows that the allegations of sexual harassment have indeed impacted on Herman Cain's ratings. In particular, his favorability ratings have dropped since last week, especially among Republicans: last week, 66% of Republican registered voters had a favorable opinion of Cain, and this week that number has dropped 9 points to 57%. Among all registered voters, Cain's favorability has declined 5 points, from 37% to 32%.
Friday, November 04, 2011
Washington, D.C. Ipsos' latest poll carried out on behalf of Thomson Reuters and published today shows, for the first time, Obama and Romney on equal footing when it comes to a Presidential head-to-head. Among Registered Voters, Romney is on 44% to Obama’s 43%, which represents a shift from the last time we asked this question in September 2011, when Obama led Romney 49% to 43% among Registered Voters.
