How does that square with Akin's numbers dropping like a brick?
I live in Southern IL and listened to Dana’s show yesterday. She said she voted for Akin. Rasmussen’s has a history of fairly objective polls.
From Wikipedia:
Speaking about his political views, Rasmussen said, “I was brought up loosely as a Republican, but at our family dinner table we talked about the important politics of the New York Giants and the New York Yankees. There was no political discussion in my life growing up. I became a Democrat after Richard Nixon and into the Jimmy Carter era and have been an Independent ever since. I spoke today about how the American people were skeptical about politicians—well, I’m more skeptical. I really do see the core issue as the political class versus mainstream voters. I think that is a much bigger gap than Republican, Democrat, conservative, or liberal.”[
They dropped to -10 immediately but they've leveled off. From a grassroots perspective, I see a lot of support for him. His fundraising is beating his own goals.
