What's with Rasmussen?
RCP ^ | 1/18/10 | traderrob

Posted on 01/18/2010 3:26:37 PM PST by traderrob6

What's going on with Rasmussen and for that matter the other (big) pollsters Zogby and Gallup. Why are they neglecting to weigh in on what is likely the most significant Senatorial election in decades?

Reputation. Don’t they always call stuff “close” so they are never “too” wrong.

Afraid the Chicago Mob will break their legs.

They have probably been given a little "talk".

I’m not too happy about that either. I don’t like the “feel” of it.

I’d say that it’s because they aren’t sure If/How the Rats are going to try and steal the election.

Did you see this article by Raz?

http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/political_commentary/commentary_by_scott_rasmussen/what_will_happen_in_massachusetts_on_tuesday

Read elsewhere here at FR that Zogby is predicting Coakley by 1.

What is pathetic is that Rasmussen was on Hannity today, using his polling data from BEFORE the debate to suggest that Coakley has a 2-point lead. The race has changed ENORMOUSLY since his last poll. The only reason he would do something like that, IMO, is to simply mislead people.

Eff him and that raghead Zogby.

They were both on Hannity’s radio show. They were noncommittal - too close to call.

So, both appeared on Hannity to opine, but Rasmussen hasn't polled since 1/11, and Zogby hasn't polled at all.

So, they were basing their opinions on the results of their competitors' polls. What's the use of that?

How lame is that? Why did they not do a final poll?

Worse, Rasmussen specifically cited his poll from 1/11 to say that Coakley is AHEAD by 2 points. He did that on purpose, for what reason I don’t know.

“Afraid the Chicago Mob will break their legs.”

You think not? They have families. Maybe the 8X11 envelope with pix of all their family members showed up on their cars or at their houses?

I just heard them both on Hanity. One called it for Brown and the other for Coakley, but both said it was too close to call and think it will be a margin of victory of 1% or less.

Zogby hasn't polled at all.

I found that hard to believe and it got me to wondering why.

What is up with Raz and Zogby? Why aren't they polling every couple of hours on this one given the significance of this race?

They know the Rats are going to cheat. They just don't know if it will be quite enough, so they can't predict the outcome.

Therefore, they hem and haw and say it is too close to give a good call - which, given the fraud that is occurring as we speak, it probably is.

An honest election would be a no-brainer for them.

I would expect this from Zogby but from Raz? I never thought I’d think this but can only conclude they’re both chickensh!ts.
