Pollsters can put a very heavy thumb on the scale if they want to. Whether or not Rasmussen does lean right is relatively unimportant given that his daily questions don't change wording, nor does his methodology vary. For that reason, at least the trends in his daily tracking poll can be taken as fact.

Obama is bleeding support more rapidly than any newly elected occupant of the White House in history, whether he went from plus 25 to minus 18 ... or (allowing a 5% tilt due to alleged bias) plus 30 to minus 13. Any partisan bias is trivial compared to the undisputed and catastrophic 43% swing from "strongly approve" to "strongly disapprove".

Another interesting point is the strength of support and of opposition. Support is 24% "strongly approve" out of 46% at least somewhat supporting Obama, for a 52% enthusiasm rate among supporters. Opposition shows 42% "strongly disapprove" out of 53% at least somewhat disapproving of Obama, for a 79% enthusiasm rate among opponents. This enthusiasm gap is striking for reasons that should be obvious as we go into the 2010 off-year election, which is traditionally a time when predominantly the enthusiastic voters participate.

So long as the opposition remains motivated and supporters remain indifferent, we have the potential for the biggest electoral route in history. Critical points are:

(1) The election must be fair for our votes to count, so conservatives must be on site as observers to suppress the fraud that ACORN and other Obama supporters depend upon.

(2) Patriotic Americans who believe in the Constitution must not become complacent. All liberals in Washington are broadly despised, but we must remain motiated and go to the polls in November. We cannot be lulled into dropping our guard like the victim of an abusive spouse after the abuser apologizes - we must remain on guard against last minute lies, tricks, and other elements of democrat politics as usual.

(3) We need good, well-funded candidates. Freepers who are willing to serve need to start organizing for the elections NOW, and those who can contribute financially need to identify individual candidates and support those candidates. I am giving rather generously to multiple candidates who both have at least some chance of winning and have demonstrated integrity that leads me to believe they will preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States against the liberal/socialist assault we are now facing.

When Obama had a sky high approval, they had no problem with Rasmussen.

The RATs should ignore all polls until December 2012.
