"Haven't looked at all the other state polls but wouldn't be surprised that this trend was prominent in Rasmussen's polling. For the horse race numbers, a balanced weighting should put Bush up by 5 or so. Everyone who reads Rasmussen's polls should be aware of this bias."

I don't understand your point here. Please explain. Thanks.

Reread the post, it should be quite clear. Rasmussen divulged that Bush was beating Kerry by getting more of his base, and beating Kerry by getting more D's, then they are both tied in getting I's. The only way then that the poll can be tied is that Rasmussen is underweighting R's, and by the numbers, it looks like a significant underweight. He was doing the same thing in the IA poll and come to find out in today's polls, he didn't post the internals. Wonder why.
