Why do people say Scott Rassmussen is Republican leaning?

[zaj]

I'm looking for an independent or credible link if possible.

1. Dunno. But he's a regular Fox guest and I never see him elsewhere.

2. I'm a premium member

and I remember a C-Span interview in which he admitted he voted for Bush in '00.

He doesn't show his bias that I can detect.

Zogby is certainly a Dem. He is of Arab decent, and does alot of Muslim polling.

I read them both, and if their numbers correspond, I tend to believe them.

In addition, neither seems corrupted yet by the Mega-corporations, so they have to be accurate to survive.

Anyway, that's my non-expert take on Rasmussen and Zogby.

5. If you think Zogby is a Dem.

you might be surprised by his comments during the 1994 and 1996 election cycles. I still remember his loving references to former Senator Alphonse D'Amato as "The Fonz" and bragging on his ability to pull out the close ones (he didn't). I stopped paying attention to him after that point, but I would hardly characterize him as a Democrat unless he's had an epiphany.

6. Let me get this straight

I know that Gallup's not with us, or Rasmussen, or CNN, or certainly not Fox, I'm skeptical on the G.E. owned MSNBC. Newsweek and Time Magazine used slanted fundamentals that are outrages. Murdoch owns all the tabloids.

Now you tell me Zogby is one of them. WTF, isn't anyone on our side?

8. Zogbys a dem

Yeah, those references were because he liked the dude as a person, not a republican.

3. Howsabout a cite from National Review?

Via Ramesh Ponnuru:

"Republican pollster Scott Rasmussen found that 49 percent..."

4. I went to High School with Ramesh!

How weird!
