At some point, increased polling accuracy could predict elections before they happen. When that becomes possible, should polling companies voluntarily restrain from polling in the last few days before an election?

Are you just throwing that question out for discussion, or are you suggesting that this is what motivated Rasmussen to forgo a last round of polling in Massachusetts?

I will submit that this isn't the reason for Rasmussen's curious withdrawal from the Massachusetts Senatorial race, just days before the vote. If it were, then the business model would be broken, and no one would be polling at this point.

What's your theory as to why Ras didn't poll just before the vote?

My theory for the present is that he is afraid that election fraud will be over 10% of the vote. The strength of the Democrat media will convince people and his customers that his polling was faulty. He does not have the strength to win against that level of power--the power that gave us 0bama and lost us Congress--the power which has successfully stolen other Congressional elections.
