Rasmussen Poll: Obama 42%, Ron Paul 41%

Texas Congressman Ron Paul scored a statistical dead heat with Resident Barack Obama in a poll by Rasmussen. While Democrats backed Obama to a greater degree than Republicans backed Paul, independents chose Paul over Obama by a wide margin to keep the race nearly even.

This was the sharpest divide yet between what Rasmussen calls the "Political Class" and "Mainstream Voters." 58% of mainstream voters picked Paul in the matchup, but the political class went 95% for Obama.

And oh yeah, there was some kind of little poll by Roby Brock at business talk showing the Democratic Senate primary is close and probably headed for a run-off.
