Rasmussen

They will either look real good or real bad after this election. All their state polls are out of sync with the other major pollsters. I don't think Obama is tied in WI and I know Obama is not behind in OH. I hope they look real bad of course.

They will have to save face, but at the same time they have to appease the nuts on the right. I will bet that they will be adjusting their polls right before the election to save face.

Election 2008: Ohio Presidential Election
McCain and Obama Tied in Ohio
Monday, November 03, 2008 Email to a Friend
It’s all even in Ohio.
The final Fox News/Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in the state before Election Day shows John McCain and Barack Obama each attracting 49% of the vote. Last week, Obama held a modest lead in the Buckeye State.
Obama leads among those who have already voted while McCain is projected to pick up more votes from those who show up at the polls on Tuesday.
However, among the six Battleground States polled in the final days of Election 2008, Ohio is one of the two states where McCain gained ground (the other was Florida). This helps explain why the campaigns have had such a strong presence in the state during the closing days of Election 2008. In the last six Fox News/Rasmussen Reports Ohio polls, Obama and McCain have been within two points of each other five times. Neither man has reached the 50% level of support in any of the past six Ohio surveys.

Zogby looked douchetastic after they failed so miserably in '08.

(R)asmussen will look worse this year than Zogby did then.

Tool. It has hilarious to see their ridiculous numbers. Not only are their numbers outliers that are different from ALL other numbers, but you can look at the FACTS. And debunk their numbers.

Take my state of Iowa. We are ahead in early voting by 60,000 votes. We're a heady by 19 percent with close to 40 percent of Iowans all ready casting votes.
Obama leads by 5+ points in all recent polls.

But Romney insists that Iowa is tight. It's not. I think it is becoming clear that the Romney spin simply doesn't pass the reality test any more.

Bet they're glad Sandy gave them an excuse to drop their tracker this week.

No one remember the week before the election, just the final poll.
