Hannity: "Let me ask you this, you had a poll back a while ago, and many of your people believed that Reagan was right. Politicians should focus on economic growth, and not re-distribution of wealth."

Rasmussen: "Barack Obama gave an answer that has become a sound-bite."

Hannity: "Yeah, but he's planning to raise taxes, corporate gains taxes, windfall tax... and the consumer is going to end up getting the tax. If you tax the evil rich people, the regular folks will eat out less, not buy the luxury items, boats, fur coats and so on."

Rasmussen: "What's happening is that Barack Obama is running a great campaign, and his advertising is not focusing on the tax programs."

I need that verbatim transcript.

If anyone can provide direct quotes, that would be helpful.

Thank you very much!

It’s not going to help you much. Your portrayal of the Rasmussen being in the tank for Messiah is not reality based upon the interview I saw.

Read post #17. That’s the truth.

I think Rasmussen has been pretty non-committal on opinion questions, while at the same time, clearly stating he thinks Obama is the favorite. Whether he is or not is questionable. Unfortunately, the lousy economy has made this a lot more unpredictable than it might have been.

I still think all the polls are all crap, and we shouldn’t pay too much attention to them. Rasmussen’s poll is actually more favorable to McCain than most.

When all is said and done, I think McCain will outdo the polls (what GOP candidate doesn’t), and I’m hopeful that he can still win this thing.
