I just don’t know how often Rassmussen is polling in MA. Was his new data supposed to be released today?
Yeah, I got the same feeling.
My first thought this morning was that the numbers were so extreme that Ras thought twice about telling anyone. No doubt he polls D, R and I. If they were seventy/thirty would YOU tell anyone? He’s already been accused of being biased, this would REALLY stir the pot. And, if he thought they might not be accurate, it would REALLY give him pause.
I don’t think he’s been intimidated....but....EXPECT A MIRACLE!
My guess is it will be Brown by about 3%. It is raining and snowing in Mass. which could cut down voting. We shall see.
Never seen anyone take so many words to say, “I don’t know.”
Like I posted above, I think he knows the voter fraud is going to skew the results, and the natural question is not why there was so much fraud, it's why the polls were so wrong.
Even Hannity winked at the notion on his TV show tonight. I wish someone in the MSM would track it rather than accept it, even if tracking it means calling out people by name.
But I know that that's not going to happen unless people flock to the streets as if Boston were Tehran if it ends up 60-40 or 55-45 Coakley.

Weekend polling is the most unreliable of all.
In fact, Sunday polling almost always spikes in favor of Obama.
I have a theory for that: democrats are home to answer the phone, while Republicans are in Church. HAR!
Maybe. Maybe not. Rasmussen's website went down this morning. Could be someone hacked it and has his polling data. This has been a very strange couple of days for Rasmussen. I've never seen anything like it before.

That could happen on Wednesday morning.
An uprising heard round the world.
I can’t explain it. If he ran his usual rolling poll, then
I would think he’d publish results and call them skewered if that were his opinion.
Weird .. the ‘poll’ that isn’t a poll.
Check yer pings from me. One is a delight!
Our friend, jhw61 is heading out for her big day tomorrow!
The thing that really bothers me is that he would not do the obvious, a poll 1 or 2 days before the election. Instead, he's content with a poll from a week ago and miscellaneous questions about what that poll meant. Just strange.
I well remember the downward spiral Zogby went on, to a point where his polls are meaningless. Hope Scott isn't following the same path.
No, I suspect he was Talked To.
“Your site was down this morning. It can be down a LOT, you know...”

BINGO! Coincidence? I think not. Did he receive several dead fish? Remember, wounded Marxists are dangerous Marxists.
There's also the possibility he doesn't believe his own polling data, or fears massive Rat fraud.
Why on earth would one of the most high profile, most well-respected polling companies in the nation sit out the last week of what is arguably one of the most important elections in recent US history?
Makes absolutely no sense, and neither does his making any predictions about the eventual outcome of this race, given the above.
Unlike others, I have no theory as to why he sat out the last week in Massachusetts. My only point is that he's now damaged his reputation as a pollster for coming out with this curious (and unsubstantiated) call on the election outcome.
