Rasmussen would like us to think that Palin is viewed more favorably than Biden!

Sarah Palin made a good first impression. She was unknown nationally before being introduced as the GOP Vice-Presidential pick but is now viewed favorably by 53% of voters nationwide. Her counterpart, Joe Biden, is viewed favorably by 48%. While Palin has made a good first impression, the more significant numbers will come a week from now after the nation has a chance to learn more about her.

Since the end of the primaries, and with the general election I've found that Rasmussen has been showing his pro-republican tendencies more.

1. Accurate!

That is, *you* are accurate. ScottyRazz is desperate to sell "premium subscriptions," and to do that, he has to pander to his Rethuglican base (sounds familiar) in the free material. There was the "headline" about a McClown hitpiece ad last week, the downward adjustment of Democratic ID figures, without any justification, and the ridiculous ensuing slate of state polling.

Basically, take whatever figure he gives you and add a +4 or +5 for Obama.
