2. *'s numbers were going down at rasmussen, so they changed

on edit.. here is the link to my post

6. Anything for the team, I guess...

They don't seem to be too concerned with accuracy.

Or reality. :eyes:

[robbedvoter]

10. Amazing find! Had something from Zogby too in that direction

and knew they fudge them...I know that 31 in Gallup is probably under 20....

3. Rasmussen samples high % of Republicans

The Gallup poll yesterday said only 68% of Republicans approve, which just goes to show you how high he is sampling Republicans.

4. Rasmussen seems really behind the graph.

For a minute, I thought they were saying Bush's approval went up, then I see they seem to be way behind the rest of the pollsters, including that stellar reporter of all fair and balanced news: Faux News.

Rasmussen seems to be stuck at 40-41%. Perhaps they're having a difficult time accepting reality?

[shaniqua6392]

5. USA Today/Gallup has him at a whopping

31%!!!! Ha Ha Ha

[BurgherHoldtheLies]

7. Ras is ALWAYS wrong. ALWAYS. No credibility.

Charlie Cook even sites Rasmussen methodology as flawed and won't include it in his political analysis.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

12. Don't agree. They were pretty spot on with Nov 04 - But all it

means is that they are tuned into what the repigs will MAKE the results be, not what they really are or were.

[KingFlorez]

8. Wyoming is in play?!?!

Wow, things are really changing. I never thought I'd see the day where a Democrats would be within 4 points of a Republican in Wyoming.

[truebrit71]

9. Illinois Topinka (r) by 6??? I don't think so...

Blago might be as appealing as a dead salmon, but there's no way in hell the Joker is ahead by 6 points....

[spag68]

11. Swann in Pa.

Being from Pa. I keep up on whats going on there. Last I saw an instate poll had him down significantly Randell. It seems unlikely that anyone in eastern Pa. will vote for an ex Steeler anyway.

[BlooInBloo]

13. 41%? Not. For any who might not be familiar with this site....

Enjoy!

EDIT: Ooops - forgot the link would d/l the pic... Here's the site: http://www.pollkatz.homestead.com/ - lotsa wonderful stuff there.

happen to catch people at home who are working on their moran signs.
