I know that I was in the minority of backing the professional credentials of Rasmussen, although he has stated publicly that he was virtually sure that Obama was going to win. The reason I maintained this viewpoint is that unlike Zogby who went ‘rogue’ by showing that McCain had lost 9.2 points over a 4 day polling period Rasmussen over the last month has boasted that up to yesterday Obama had earned between 50-52% of the vote and McCain had gained 44-46% of the vote (yesterday was 51-46). This may be boring to some but to me it shows that Rasmussen’s polling methods are sound. Thus for him to show a McCain surge of 5 points in 2 days to now where Obama has only a 3 point lead shows me that McCain’s momentum is real and despite Rasmussen’s own public pronouncements, he still maintains a professional integrity, unlike Zogby. As i have said on this web site before Rasmussen must be one conflicted individual.
How much do you want to bet that every time Scottie raised the "D" party ID weighting, scores of credit card holders from Soros and around the world went ker-ching for Scottie's "Premium Service".
