The election is over and President Barack Obama will serve a second term as commander-in-chief of the United States.

Although the vote count is still taking place in Florida, their 29 Electoral votes will not make a difference in the current Electoral College vote count of 303 for Obama to 206 for Romney.

In what may appear to be a landslide victory for Obama, in terms of the Electoral College, it does defeat polling figures projected by Rasmussen Reports.

The final Rasmussen Reports national poll had Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney leading Obama with 49 percent to 48 percent, a difference of one percentage point.

The Rasmussen Reports poll from the swing state of Ohio featured the candidates tied at 49 percent with the 750 likely voters.

From the Sunshine State of Florida, Rasmussen Reports featured Romney ahead two percentage points with 50 percent to Obama's 48 percent with another 750 likely voters.

Rasmussen Reports also has Romney ahead two percentage points in the other swing state of Virginia. The poll also surveyed 750 likely voters and keeping the same percentages as the Ohio poll.

The Iowa Rasmussen Reports poll keeps Romney's lead but by one percent. Surveying 750 likely voters, Romney received 49 percent to Obama's 48 percent.

Rasmussen Reports' poll for Colorado sees an increase for Romney among the 750 likely voters surveyed. The Colorado poll has Romney leading with 50 percent to Obama's 47 percent.

Wisconsin polling numbers were tied at 49 percent each.

Rasmussen Reports were accurate for the swing states of Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, and Pennsylvania.

All of the polls with the exception of the national Rasmussen poll have a margin of error of four percent.

Aside from Florida, which votes are still going through the counting process but currently leading for Obama, all states before mentioned went for Obama.

Rasmussen Reports were correct with North Carolina, which had Romney leading by six percentage points. Romney in the poll received 52 percent to Obama's 46 percent, but the final result was Romney at 50.6 percent to Obama's 48.4 percent, a difference of 2.2 percent.

The national poll did note that the president's job approval rating could indicate his reelection, and Rasmussen report it at 52 percent.

The report stated, "As we have been reporting all year, a president's job approval rating is one of the best indicators for assessing his chances of reelection. The president's job approval on the morning of Election Day precisely matched his share of the vote. That happened the last time an incumbent ran for reelection as well."

If Florida's votes does go for Obama, the Electoral College vote count will end at 332 to Romney's 206.
