Well, perhaps I stand corrected; (I went to Google but couldn't find any data to back my reasoning) yet, I do remember, Rasussen's name being tossed in with the likes of Democraps' gleeful polling last summer.
I agree, many who apparently did not know better were putting into the same group as others. I was/am a premium member at Rasmussen and his polls never have the variations that other polls do. He polls every night and uses 3 and 7 day averages. He also does not change assumptions such as make up of R/D M/F etc. that many other polsters seem to do.
