Scott Rassmussen is a wimpy stooge for the GOPe rectums.
His poll is a carefully crafted lie to satisfy his owners.
The reality:
>> Public Policy Polling, a Democrat-leaning firm, found him polling one point ahead of Democratic incumbent Senator Claire McCaskill, 44-43. “GOP voters dislike McCaskill so much they’re not going to vote for her no matter what their nominee does,” the firm found. “Independent voters haven’t moved at all either.” <<
if course you have it backwards. The stooge polling company is PPP, who works for Democrats. you engage in ad hominem without looking at the facts in the polls. PPP poll had a very biased +9R sample. Ras poll had a realistic balanced sample close to what real turnout in Missouri has been.
The Ras poll has more balanced sample and shows him down 10 points.
This takedown on the PPP poll shwos that it actually agrees - Akin is down 7-9 points if you balance it right:

The internals of the PPP are horrible and show that Akin is unelectable: 2 to 1 unfavorables, a majority of Missouri voters dont even want him running. and he is the only politician in Missouri viewed worse than mcCaskill
No wonder she picked Akin with her ads! he is the only candidate she can beat!
