I take Rasmussen Poll Numbers seriously, here's why you should
Last edited Thu Nov 1, 2012, 03:05 PM - Edit history (1)
In 2008 all of their state poll numbers underestimated the president's standing by a margin of between 3.5-4.5 points sometimes even more.
To accurately read a rass poll always add +3.5 or 4 depending on the state .
Example their latest wisconsin poll has it tied ad plus 4 and its 52-47
their ohio polls has robme ahead ad plus 3.5 and its 49-47 with the rest going to undecideds etc.
