The latest presidential polls are out and Mitt Romney remains in the lead against President Obama.
As of Wednesday, Mitt Romney remains with a sustained four point lead over Barack Obama, according to Rasmussen's daily Presidential poll.
Romney currently has a four point lead with 50 percent of voter support over President Obama with 46 percent. The poll also showed two percent of voters supporting a third-party candidate and two percent still undecided.
According to the polling analysis, Romney's position over Obama is the first time a candidate has had a lead of over three points within the last few months of election season.

However, these figures do not incorporate the opinion of all voters who watched the third presidential debate. The latest update has approximately two-thirds of voter's opinions before the debate with the rest being compiled. Rasmussen reports that on Friday the full poll results will be released from Monday night's final presidential debate.
Currently Romney is attracting more support from his party with 89 percent of Republican voters as well as having the lead with voters not affiliated with a party that give him an additional nine points. Barack Obama has the support of 82 percent of democrats.
Romney has had a minor lead over Obama, but on Oct. 19, Rasmussen's daily Presidential polls showed the two candidates evenly matched with the support of 48 percent of American voters.
The latest Electoral College projected reports show President Obama with a slight lead with 237 Electoral Votes and Romney at 235. In order to become President of the United States, a candidate needs 270 Electoral Votes. With 66 Electoral Votes remaining, the latest toss-up states are Ohio, Virginia, Wisconsin, Colorado, Iowa, Nevada and New Hampshire.
As Election Day draws near, everyday will have a greater impact on both candidates' chances to become the next president.
