Rassmussen was on Hugh Hewitt's show today, and he seems to think that Democrats are outpacing Republicans. He is giving a 5 point swing to the Dems. I think he is wrong, so take his polls with a grain of salt as well.

If you read Rass methodolgy they have taken to using a floating party id methodology. This is the new craze in Polling. It is suppose to show the "intensity" of the voters on each side. You can read about it at their website. It stupid methodology. There is no controlling for sample error.

Outpacing how? Registration? In 2004, Jay Cost showed clearly that the "new" Dem registrations were merely replacing union members who had left their communities, and there was no net gain. Ground game? Be serious. That's not even close. Money? No way.

So Ras, as in 2000, is delusional.
