That is the most important question asked on this thread and I am astounded that it required 50 responses before it was asked.
I won't even pay attention to a poll if I can't see the demographic breakdown. Rassmussen doesn't reveal his internal details unless you subscibe--which I decline to do.
I'm betting that Dems were over polled about 5-7%. That seems to be the going rate these days.
RAS always uses Likely Voters, properly weighted with Democrats and based on ‘10 results, rather than ‘08. His margin of error on electio day was 1% on 2008. Readily, RAS also predicted this bump.
Give it a few days to shake out. God is with us, unless He isn’t.
If He isn’t, there is surely chastisement coming.
