Weird from Rasmussen. Even the most biased of polls show this narrowing.

Early voting was the worst thing to happen to pollsters. It takes their polls based on sampling and matches them against votes based on data, actual data.

I respect Rasmussen, but I think he is off here. We are in the final stages of this campaign and I just don’t see the kind of momentum needed to have in person voters break that strongly for Biden, which is what he needs.

Who knows, we have all based our assumptions on the fact that the dems would not show at the polls for in person voting in the numbers needed and that the Republicans would. If that assumption is incorrect, then I can see Rasmussen being somewhat correct. But I am not seeing it.

“I respect Rasmussen, but I think he is off here.”

I trust Rasmussen more than many others. I think he is just saying what his numbers are telling him. The question is whether those numbers and assumptions are right.

My belief is that modern polling is virtually dead and there is no way to predict close elections any more. Most people are just not responding to unknown calls as in days gone by.
