October 5-11, 2008, the partisan weighting targets used by Rasmussen Reports will be 39.3% Democratic, 33.3% Republican, and 27.4% unaffiliated.

Exactly.

Why do they bother?

Wadda minute. Is Rasmussen bumping up the percentage of Dems in the poll yet again??? He already “adjusted” the poll once in favor of more Dem turnout.

So now he’s predicting 40% Dem to 33% Republican turnout. That ratio has *never* materialized on election day.

And here is some fun with numbers...

40 / 33 = 1.21 ratio
52 / 44 = 1.18 ratio
So Obama’s “lead” is purely a result of Dem oversampling.

Folks this is NOT A Real POLLL its called a tracking poll .
Scottie uses a automatic phone calling system and then he applies this lovely 7 point Obama advantage .

Scottie Rigged this POll three to four weeks ago when he intentionally changed his trackling . So he is not tracking anything !

S called Brilliant Scottie had Bush winning by 8 points in 2000 and then he changed his turnout to 50/50 in 2004 and was close .
He is SWUNG back to the 7 point formulated advantage
to Obama .
No real reason given got this wild guess !
