Rasmussen state polling was the very best in 2004.

Survey USA had the best average and none of there polls were invalidated

Rasmussen called the states correctly, they were off by an average of 5.82 points. Three of their final polls were the closest, but another 3 of their final polls were off by more than 10 points.

Survey USA made predictions in 30 states. They called 29 right and was off by an average of 3.70. Three of their final polls were the closest, None of their polls were invalidated for being more than 10 points off.

The problem I have with Rasmussen this year is,  he reports that Republican party affiliation rose 2% in August....then he changes his sample and increases the Democrats again by a small precentage.  I don't understand how that increase translates to sampling more Democrats,  Maybe he explained it and I missed it.

I don’t know where you get your data, I suspect either making it up out of thin air or repeating some crap someone else told you.

Rasmussen was nowhere near being off 5.82 on their state polling in 2004.. You are obviously confusing them with another outfit. They were among the best and well under 2.0.
