Thanks for that information dangus.
Am I correct that Scott Rasmussen is a founder of ESPN? I seem to recall seeing that somewhere.
THAT, I don't know.
Rasmussen came out of W.B. Doner Co., an ad agency in Detroit, the same one that spawned Cathy Guisewhite (sp?), the cartoonist. Rasmussen uses automated polling. His sample doesn't include cell phones. By polling on a holiday weekend, he is most likely undersampling Republicans, who are more likely to be away from home.
