Very often, Rasmussen comes up with polls unfavorable to Democrats shortly after independent polls find the opposite. Recently, ABC/WaPO found Hillary with her highest-ever favorability. Today Rasmussen came up with a well-timed poll finding the opposite (Her favorability now matches an all-time low there, he says).
For some strange reason, Rasmussen polled likely voters, as if Hillary were running for something.

Rasmussen constantly attends Republican fundraisers where he gets paid lots of money, as reported by Media Matters: http://mediamatters.org/blog/201203300007

(10,997 posts)comes out of nowhere. The MSM follows using it as the talking point of the week. The buzz has been that Hillary would be the perfect candidate for 2016, so the right sent their minions to discredit her and preserve the republic for Jeb. Go Hillary!!!!
