WTF?!@#@!? Rasmussen Polling has gotten batshit crazy.

[Dawgs]

Not that they weren't always way off, but what the flip.

First of all, let us look at their polling since Tuesday.

Today (5/21)
Arkansas Senate
Boozman vs. Lincoln - Boozman +38
Two others from this month - Boozman +14, +17

Arkansas Senate
Boozman vs. Lincoln - Boozman +27
Two others from this month - Boozman +9, +24

Yesterday(5/20)
Kentucky Senate
Paul vs. Conway - Paul +25
Two others from this month - Boozman +3, +1

Add this to the fact that he didn't poll ANY of the races before the Tuesday vote and you see why no one should take him seriously. His most recent pre-election day poll was between Sestak and Specter. It was on the 10th; eight days before the vote on Tuesday.

Is there any doubt that he's trying to sway public opinion through his polls?

1. Reputable pollsters survey "likely voters" while Rasmussen

polls whatever right-wing, reactionary motherfuckers he can find!

10. You are correct. He stated that fact because as he said

republicans always vote, democrats don't. So I poll republicans 75 to 25. Don't know if you can find it, but you should if you google. think I will try and post a link if it is still there.

2. I think the wingers are becoming increasingly desperate, and their facade is slipping. n/t

3. Then don't post it

5. All the more reason to support Halter!

6. Was this Rasmussen Poll conducted in GOP headquarters or Teabagger central?

:shrug:

[FarCenter]

7. Don't overestimate the Kentucky electorate

[Codeine]

9. Too true.

I predict we'll be seeing the first Teabagger victory with Rand Paul.

11. I first noticed Ramussen as a right-wing outfit in 2003.

Their polling of the California recall was WAAAAY off. They had a more than 2-to-1 pro-recall of the Democratic governor. It passed by 9 points. When the poll got close, their numbers suddenly changed. I've seen the pattern repeated again and again since then. It's a strategy to affect the political narrative.
