Same as Rasmussen:
"Data for Rasmussen Reports survey research is collected using an automated polling methodology. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC.
Generally speaking, the automated survey process is identical to that of traditional, operator-assisted research firms such as Gallup, Harris, and Roper. However, automated polling systems use a single, digitally-recorded, voice to conduct the interview while traditional firms rely on phone banks, boiler rooms, and operator-assisted technology."

Bill White. follow the money
Well, I live here in North Carolina & I do have to accept that, they are democratic pollsters but they don’t skew the results. Their analysis of the data will be different but, they are always very accurate with their numbers. It was only polling firm which was right on money for 2008 Obama/McCain race. They prediced 1% win for obama in the state and they got it right.
The problem in Texas is that, they have been beaten up so badly in primary and perry has made some stupid remarks to senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson. Independents are reflecting that and I agree they will come home to the republicans. The win for perry is going to be in 3 or 4% points. White is very popular in houston and that can increase the turn out in metropolitan cities and make the election very close.
