It's not a chant, and it's not a mantra, and you should pay closer attention before disparage. Rasmussen polling - OTHER THAN ELECTION POLLING - is consistently biased to the right, and has outlier results.
Do you realize that these are two different claims? Even if you could prove the latter (which isn't really very important, for the reason I very patiently explained again), I don't even know what you would base such a ridiculous claim as the former on.
That he has such accurate ELECTION polling demonstrates that he does know how to construct a reliable poll, and chooses not to on issue and soft polling.
:rofl
Link?
So, get used to hearing it. Rasmussent polling - OUTSIDE OF ELECTION POLLING - sucks the big one and makes the right look foolish for quoting them so often.
So you're going to keep on chanting your mantra despite a total lack of evidence. Good to know.
formerroadie said:Rasmussen is historically wrong. Just look at the election.
I'm sorry, but what on earth are you talking about?
The final Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Election 2008 showed Barack Obama leading John McCain 52% to 46%. We are pleased to report that those figures precisely matched the actual election returns.
A Fordham University analysis put Rasmussen Reports on top of the list for accuracy among 23 national pollsters.
...
While we were pleased with the final result, Rasmussen Reports was especially pleased that our data was the least volatile of all the tracking polls. Our daily tracking showed Obama with a stable and solid lead with more than 50% of the vote every single day for the last six weeks of the campaign.
In 2004 George W. Bush received 50.7% of the vote while John Kerry earned 48.3%. Rasmussen Reports was the only firm to project both candidates’ totals within half a percentage point by projecting that Bush would win 50.2% to 48.5%. (see our 2004 results).
I just don't know where you're coming up with such demonstrable falsehoods.
