Rasmussen’s own polling on party self-identification has shown a shift in the last two years, from a Dem advantage, to a GOP advantage - from Dem +8.6 in 2008 to GOP +2.6 right now.

The blogger "Dave in Florida," does great analysis of all the various Presidential polls. He extrapolates that if you apply Rasmussen's party ID model to his own poll, Romney leads by 6%.

Rasmussen’s own polling on party self-identification has shown a shift in the last two years, from a Dem advantage, to a GOP advantage - from Dem +8.6 in 2008 to GOP +2.6 right now.

And yet Rasmussen is using a D+6 sample in his tracking poll. I highly doubt Scott is in the tank for Obummer. For some reason, virtually EVERY polling outfit is picking up this fairly significant D+ party self-ID disparity. Almost every one of them is also picking up dramatic leads for Romney amongst Independents. You do the math.
