What is with Rasmussen?

[DemonFighterLives]

I was given this poll information and can't believe it. It is 10 pts higher than anyone else.


Here is from Rasmussen:

1. They ask the wrong questions....

...of the wrong people. It's an anomaly.

2. We affectionately call that poll 'the Razzie'

because that's about what its findings deserve.

They have a very small sample size and restrict a majority of it to the reliably conservative.

It's one of the polls you can count on to be wrong. Gallup used to be a decent poll until they got a little too invested in antiabortion wingnuttery. Now they overweight the GOP, too.

The polls to watch because they're more likely to be accurate are Harris and AP/Ipsos/Reid.

5. Thanks for expaining that

I see Gallup is right up there with Fox on the Pollkatz graph. They should be embarassed. Statistical analysis used to be a science.
This administration has made it nothing but a sham.
Some polls are still valid, but the sheeple are so confused that it only tells you what a mess we are in.

3. Polls aren't the end all be all, but I think they give you a good

indication of where things are, IF you look at a bunch of them.

4. Rasmussen is unreliable

Someone from NJ posted here on DU that Rasmussen is a conservative and had evidence he was skewing polls.

6. I can believe that.

I'll have to search for the story.
