Daily Kos Elections Polling Wrap: Midweek polls continue very bullish on President Obama

Wednesday, as it happened, provided absolutely zero salvation for Republicans who spent most of the early part of the week working feverishly to convince themselves that the bad polling they were seeing was simply some kind of large-scale conspiracy designed to trick people into thinking that Mitt Romney was losing, and dragging the bulk of the GOP down with him.

Indeed, all the poll "unskewers" and skeptics have left, predictably, is Rasmussen. And even Rasmussen, in all candor, has stopped making sense.

More on that after the jump. But, first, the numbers:
