“but the Rasmussen one rattles me”
it shouldn’t: that poll has been gyrating with double-digit changes back and forth now for at least a week, which CLEARLY does NOT reflect any sort of reality as people are not changing their minds back and forth by double-digits on a daily basis ...
what such gyrations DO indicate, though, is that polling methodologies are completely failing and have zero predictive value ...
It astounds me to see a presidential election season where one party’s ticket seems to be generating massive public interest and support while the other seems to have little enthusiasm for its slate, yet that party continues to poll well ahead of the ‘populist’ candidate. What strange times...
By the way, I wrote those words as I did for a FB post to see just how many of liberal friends would blow up my home page over as balanced a paragraph anyone could have written. So far, pretty quiet. Maybe they couldn’t see the innuendo for the prose.
