Polls are likely using 2008 or 2012 turnout numbers for this election. That cannot work. The enthusiasm for Hillary is simply not there.

But the hatred for Trump is and that will get them to the polls

Scott Rasmussen was forced out after the 2012 election.


When he left, the company praised his polling methodology:

The Company emphasized that Mr. Rasmussen's legacy remains intact. His polling methodologies and protocols, widely acknowledged as among the most accurate and reliable in the industry, continue to guide and inform the company’s public opinion survey techniques.

Certainly no acknowledgement that their methodology was flawed or that it was to be changed.

The final average of the polls has Conway, the Democrat, winning by three points over Bevin in Kentucky. He ended up winning by almost nine points.

In the Cotton-Pryor race in Arkansas in 2014, the poll average was also off by double digits.

The pollsters have embarrassingly in accurate since 2014.
