"The results of this study will surely be questioned as Rasmussen has been widely criticized by liberals for allegedly gaming its polls to boost conservatives and Republicans while downplaying progressives and Democrats.

While Rasmussen claims its methods are different only in that it polls likely voters, observers have pointed out that its surveys consistently show higher marks for conservatives over liberals than any other accredited polling group."

5. No One Single Poll Is Accurate

Only an aggregation of polls close to election day matter.

3. "Likely Voters" are more likely to be Republicans. Therefore

Gallop and Rasmussen polls are skewed toward Republicans.

I forget if it is 2to 1 ( 2 Repub to l Democrat)

There is a basis for this. In all elections that are not
conducted during Presidential election---Republicans turn
out and Democrats do not.

This is sad because there are more "registered" Democrats
than Republicans.

4. I'm not worried about it.
