Just read that Rasmussen moved his sample today to D+6 and Romney still leads by 3. Barring a “dead girl / live boy” type of thing, it’s over.
Yeah he did change it to a D+6 model. That irritates me. I think he is scared of showing a romney blowout.
Where did you read that, and why did he do it???
That 2008 model is as outdated as VHS videos.
Why is he doing this? The D+6 refers to the expected turnout, correct? If so then this doesn’t square with PEW RESEARCH which has Republican enthusiasm at a RECORD HIGH.
Where did you read about the +6 D sample?
If even Ras sees D+6 as a legitimate polling model, then people need to reconsider attacking all these other polling firms for essentially doing the same. For whatever reason even Rasmussen is arguing that more people are identifying themselves as Democrats in polling. I'd suggest that is probably because more conservatives identify as independent now. This would explain why Romney is winning independents in nearly every poll - sometimes overwhelmingly.
Except for the voting, you mean.
Do you know why he keeps changing the sample?
What was he using previously?
Unbelievable. Do you have a source?
Really? Why is Rasmussen doing that? Are you sure he is using D+6?
The other side has plenty of money and with a few desperate actors, some fake photos, they could try to manufacture a Tuesday morning surprise.
Why would Ras move his sample to D+6? He doesn't seem motivated by the need to "keep it close".
