Freepers have reverse-engineered the numbers???
So this is not based on anything that Rasmussen has reported about his own numbers?
I’m much less inclined to trust results by those who don’t have the actual data set numbers and the formula used than I am to trust the guy who collected those numbers and ran them, AND who has a stellar reputation for consistent correctness.
Perhaps my memory is finally failing me, but I thought I'd read a short interview about a week ago or so with Mr. Rasmussen that 1) he thought the electorate would be about D+2 - D+4 on election day and that 2) he was increasing his own D numbers in his polls because, well, he kept coming up with lots more Dems in his nightly interviews than his model was predicting.
I've googled for a few minutes and been unable to find a reference. When I have time, I'll look some more.
