      Polls are fun, but I really don't put a lot of stock in them. People should pay attention to the fact that Rasmussen polls likely voters. Whether I like it or not, Republicans have a better track record of showing up at the polls and voting. If you are going to draw conclusions about votes from surveys, polling likely voters is the best way to do it. What I really think is that Democrats shouldn't just talk politics, they should go out and vote and work for candidates who espouse their same beliefs.

        That Rasmussen himself is among Hannity's favorite guests says it all.

          What does Hannity have to do with that report?

          But since you mentioned it do you have any facts to back up your claim that Rasmussen is among Hannity's favorite guests? Perhaps you have some data that supports your claim? Or perhaps you are just making it up, yup, that is much more likely.

            some people say it's a fact. The same people say your source of information makes up stuff and you repeat it verbatum. BTW, verbatum is a german word, you probably heard it giving instructions to the debarking passengers at the train stations...

      Too bad he neglects to mention Scott's former money streams.

      What whiners. And back scratchers. What "news" organization defends a polling org, for chrissakes?

      Yes, Foxheads, Rassie is perfectly honest, except about who funds them.

        Yeah, how dare he point out facts about Rasmussen. Perhaps you will point out what was not factual?

          Do you read MMFA articles at all or just post on random ones?

            Sure I do, I love fiction.

            But perhaps you will point out the conservative misinformation in this MMFA thread? I'll wait.

              Perhaps you should start clicking given links and you'll learn what the exact beef is. Wouldn't that be novel? You actually knowing what you're talking about and having a firm grasp on the subject at hand before commenting.

              It would be refreshing for all of us.

                Forgive me, there are no given links to this story from MMFA as they usually provides, but do I really need to offer you those?

              Here are 3 recent examples of the sins of Rasmussen polling.

              There are plenty more.

      Rasmussen must have lost alot of Politicians (Some Republicans and ALOT of Democrats) as Clients for the 2010 Campaigns, and asked FoxNews to help him out by saying how 'fair' Rasmussen's Polls really are. Wink, wink. LOL.
