Romney holds four point lead in tracking poll; pluralities see Romney as mainstream and Obama as extreme

Apropos of the Rove article, a new Rasmussen poll kind of makes the same point. Read it and weep, mainstream media!

52% of likely voters see Gov. Romney as "mainstream." Only 45% say the same about President Obama.

30% see Romney as extreme. Another 45% see President Obama as extreme. The American people just don't seem to have bought the narrative the Democrats and their media allies have been pushing for four years.

BTW, the man depicted above- Saul Alinsky, Chicago community organizer and author of such books as Rules for Radicals and Reveille for Radicals- was a political ideologue whose philosphy Mr. Obama himself once taught. Trained by Alinsky's Industrial Areas Foundation, the President was involved in such Alinskyite movements as the Developing Communities Project, ACORN, and Project Vote.

While Alinsky and the movements he helped organize have an honorable place in the social and political history of America, nobody would describe them as "mainstream."

Today's Rasmussen tracking poll still shows Romney at 48% and Obama at 44%. Three percent are for somebody else, and four percent are undecided.
