That's what I was wondering when I saw that.....Must be in the special sauce...I think a lot of these polls are so screwed from the factoring going on they can't see the forest through the trees. I know a of of Jersey Dems are voting McCain...won't tell you to your face if you are a stranger and only in a whisper if you are a friend....

I am not one to say that "all the polls are wrong," or rigged, or whatever, but there are just so many things in the numbers being reported this year that make absolutely no sense at all, and this is the big one in this poll. If Obama is getting only 75% of Democrats it is simply inconceivable that he could be ahead overall. One of those numbers has to be wildly wrong.

If there is a bias in Rasmussen's numbers (Libs consider him a "Conservative pollster") I think it is that he pushes leaners (that's why he has few undecideds.) This creates, I think, a "Bradley effect." (Although I should probably call it an "Obama effect," because I think it has more to do with perceived peer pressure than with racism.)

The fake democrat registrations by ACORN add hundreds of thouands of fake demorats to the total number of Democrats.

So if 25 percent of the real democrats desert Obama and ACORN ads 25 percent fake democrats, the total number of democrat votes counted by the pollsters for obama is the same as if all real democrats were voting for Obama.

It is called lose 25 percent of your base and the pollsters don’t even notice.
