Hmm... Rasumussen latest poll has the race tied at 48.3 - 48.3 with leaners. Why has race tightened in this poll?

Isn't this the same poll that had Kerry leading by 3 recently?

Rasmussen has finally lurched unto the precipice of professional oblivion.

Ignore this poll. If you check the pattern the race tightens up every weekend with Kerry ahead by Monday and then by the middle of the week Bush is ahead. It's total garbage.

Rasmussen was way off in 2000. As were most other polling entities.

As much as it pains me to say this, this poll is so nutty and irregular it's not to be trusted, I know some here think the world of it...I DON'T! The only poll that counts now is the TURNOUT POLL on TUES!

I should have done this a long time ago, but as of today I officially disregard Rasmussen polls. This automated polling stuff is garbage. No race could be so close that it stays within one or two points for week after week.

Gallup, Battleground, Fox, Time. Study them. Bush wins.

I really hope Bush wins comfortably so that Frick and Frack, Zogby and Rassmusen, are discredited and go away.

They are just trying to get people out to the polls. If the polls were more accurate, they would favor Bush more and less Rats would show up to vote.
