Rasmussen Battleground Polls for 10/6

[louis c]

Rasmussen Premium Results for 4 key Battleground States are:

Florida, Bush 52%-46% (This is a 1 point Bush gain)

Michigan, Tie 47% (This is a full seven day straight that there has been a tie here)

Ohio, Bush 48%-46% (This represents no change from yesterday)

Pennsylvania, Tie 47% (This is a 1 point Kerry gain)


I have been unable to access Minnesota.

Missouri's one week data is Bush 51%-45% (This is a 1 point Kerry gain from last week)

The Rasmussen national numbers, and Scott Rasmussen analysis are quite positive for Kerry. About 45 minutes from now (6:15 PM EDT) I will post some very positive Rasmussen numbers.

Remember that Florida has been tough to poll because of the hurricanes and the aftermath. In addition, all coverage of the President and his brother have had some impact, as well as the latest hurricane keeping many away from the debates.

As far as the other states, the debate impact takes a few days to sink in, as it has in the 3 day national tracking data. The states a 7 day trends, so movement will take longer.

Please watch for my national Rasmussen update at 6:15 for more of an explanation.

1. It's not bad for polls to have bush slightly ahead

when he falls behind, he does bad things to our country.

4. Rass the A$$

I can't stand Scott Rasmussen.. x( Between all his rightwing gigs, and the book he wrote "GOP Nation" (where he claims that Republicans will dominate for the next 100 years) .. I just can't trust the guy.

6. His numbers are the same as Zogby's

and John Zogby is a Democrat.

If Rasmussen cares anything about his business, he better get this election right, or find another line of work.
