But Rassmussen credibility is not what it was 36 hours ago.
FUBO should be at -30 right now.
what are you talking about?
It's obvious the White House punked Scott Rasmussen, but now the nation punked Obama.
No, we should trust Ras. He was first to show Brown within striking distance. Only thing was he didn’t poll at the very end like the other pollsters - if he did, he would have picked up the surge. Hopefully he’ll poll right before election Sunday nite and will get more accurate results. His polls though do measure up.

If you are referring to the Rasmussen poll showing Brown behind by 9 that was over 10 days ago . . . and it was that poll that made Massachusetts voters realize Brown was getting close and had momentum.
“28% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President”
Dern, that is a *lot* of pinheads.
Rasmussen screwed up big time by not doing a final poll in MA and predicting the race to close to call. 0bama got to him. He folded under the pressure of being accused of being ‘right-leaning’. His credibility is gone.
Grinning like an idiot while being sworn in.
The demonrats really plunged to a new low with the magic negro.
Make that “TOO close to call”. Need more coffee.
Totally worthless numbers: The Obamathugs intimidated Rasmussen when BO’s numbers tanked. They folded. Add -10 and you might get close to a true reading. On second thought that’s probably too optimistic.
But whether it's up, down or the same, tomorrow's number may be much more interesting than usual -- since it's the first Index value able to begin picking up national reverberations (if any) of the Scott Heard 'Round the World.
“Rasmussen screwed up big time by not doing a final poll in MA and predicting the race to close to call. 0bama got to him. He folded under the pressure of being accused of being ‘right-leaning’. His credibility is gone.”
Please note that Ras only planned the two polls. Also note there were no exit polls. Same reason. People were not prepared for this race. To suggest Ras folded under pressure tends is simply wrong.
Figure that 28% is getting pretty close to his floor.
12-14% of the American Electorate is black. BO could eat a live kitten on CNN, and they'd still be behind him.
Throw in people that always vote Dem no matter what, people who can't admit that they made a mistake in '08, white guilt voters, convicted felons, people who misunderstand the poll question, and dead people.....
And you've got about 25-30%.
Good point on no exit polls.
However, every other polling outfit, with the exception of the Kos poll, had Brown at least plus five in the final day. Why wasn’t he willing to put himself on the line? He knew his 1/12 poll was obviously very stale, yet he said it was too close to call.
I think he DID poll, but the results didn’t make sense to him. For a while I wondered if maybe someone hacked his site and screwed with the raw data from his poll, and that’s why his site was down and he wouldn’t release a final poll.
There has to be some reason why he didn’t have a final poll. He was reported to be doing a final poll, and then he had some weird statements that night before the election, but no poll. It just didn’t make sense.
Some think he was threatened by democrats, and decided it wasn’t worth the risk to post a poll.
I wonder if Scott will ever explain why he didn’t do a poll, or what happened.
