Rassmussen sure is all over the place on the state polls.

Do you have Ras’ weighting for this? I’m not a member on his site.

They’re garbage. He has one of MO showing McCain down by 5. It is because he does a one day sample. Obama had a big rally on Saturday in MO, so Rasmussen polls a single day. Surprise surprise, Obama has a big night. A reputable pollster does 3 days for this reasons.

For the state ones too? No wonder they’re all screwed. I would have thought he would take into account the demographics of each state.

Party id in 2006 was:

D:36 R:39 I:25

No way is +6.7 Dems going to be representative of reality.

Really

these pollsters have not thought about all the Dems who do not want obama, many independents will go for obama and the undecideds will go for Mccain as they will remember the negative connections

How does that 6.7% compare with the past several years?

I’m betting it mysteriously doubled around the first of 2008.

Perdogg,

That 6.7% is for his national polling. I am not sure what he uses for his state polling. Each state would be different.

Re#5. Thanks. Frankly, I don’t know if anyone could weight the polls with any confidence this cycle. So many factors, e.g., PUMAs (saw recently a 30% number of Hillary supporters that are not in BO’s camp), Bradley/Wilder effect (amongst democrats and GOP voters are already not going to vote for BO), an invigorated GOP base (the Palin Effect and a genuine fear of BO by many others), Operation Chaos (as to democrat registration numbers in the latter ‘rat primary states) and the fact that the polls were so far off in the last of the democrat primaries where Hillary blew off BO’s doors in PA and the like. Heck, based on the foregoing and anecdotal evidence I see, I think a 1994 redux is possible with, if not similar results, a happy ending for our camp. Time will tell...

I think we need someone with a membership to get the internal numbers.

Don't forget the 'Joe the Plumber' bump!

Remember all the states Hillary won? Methinks most will not go for Obama..
