And a shill for BushCo. They have his approval rating at 52 percent -- five points higher than Fox and 8 points higher than Zogby. They also have BushCo. leading Kerry 48-47 in today's tracking poll.
Looks like I'll be taking them off my bookmark list.

4. Supposedly it's done from a national sample |
|
But from the looks of their results, I'd say their sample comes primarily from Texas.

3. I find it interesting that people like to site him when he shows |
|
Kerry doing well and disregard him when he indicates a close race. I'm not saying you do that. I check him out becuz of his daily tracking poll and I don't think it is inconceivable that on one day Bush could be a point ahead and the next Kerry could be up--that is the way tracking polls go. He was wildly off the mark in 2000--he says he has made improvements, but we will see.

6. I tend to gravitate toward so called "unfriendly" pollsters |
|
Edited on Mon Aug-09-04 12:44 PM by RummyTheDummy
Because I know if they're showing Kerry ahead, I know he's really ahead. My beef with Rasmussen isn't really their tracking poll, it's the approval rating which is way off. They had his approval at 53 percent Friday.
And their poll has become predictable. Kerry will move ahead by three and then the next day he's up by 2, the next one, the next it's tied, the next he's behind, then the cycle begins all over again. Kerry up by three, up by two, up by one, tied, behind by one, behind by two, up by three, up by two, up by one and on and on. You can set your watch to it.

5. Simple question - who pays him? |
|
The guy has to get his funding somewhere, and daily polling ain't cheap.

B/c when I get on his page, there's usually an ad on it from my state's GOP. That should speak volumes.

14. even when he has Kerry ahead i don't take his polls seriously |
|
because he uses questionable and not very accurate polling methods. he might get lucky and it might be close to actual results at times. but because of the methods it can't be trusted.

19. Rasmussen is a GOP pollster. Taken in that context, it can be interesting. |

21. I tend to look at his polls |
|
with the same scrutiny as I look at those Zogby Interactive polls.
The polls in battleground states are all over the place. In some cases they have FAVORED Kerry like in MN and OR. They were also showing Kerry with big leads in NJ, while other firms were showing it to be much closer.
The tracking polls have little movement, though they did show Kerry with a slight bounce during the convention.
Either way, he may be more accurate than he used to be, but that's not saying much.
