State by state on the presidential election. Ras was horrible in 2000 too.
So, I guess it’s all a crap shoot, huh?
Many of his final predictions were off because he underestimated the portion of the vote President Bush would receive. Here are some in the states Bush won.
His final poll for Virgina showed Bush with 50%, Bush won with 54%. Missouri 50%, Bush won 53%. Colorado 50, Bush won 52%, Alabama 53, Bush won 63%. North Carolina 50%, Bush won 53%. Georgia 54, Bush won 58%. South Carolina 55%. Bush won 58%.
So, did Ras under poll the Republicans? Was our turnout better than expected? What do you think?
Note: Rasmussen increased the Democrats in his sample for this election.
