Every analysis shown in that NowPublic article is invalid.
The “Report Card” which shows Rasmussen with an A- grade is based on a 6.5 margin, 52.6 to 46.1. That, like the Fordham Initial Report, is wrong.
The last summary is based on a 6.6% margin, 52.7% to 46.1%. Also wrong.
The article does link to the IBD/TIPP summary. That analysis IS based on the correct popular vote numbers and, like the final Fordham report, shows eight pollsters more accurate than Rasmussen.
Real Clear Politics, like the final Fordham report, shows IBD with an 8-point spread, 52/44. That would put them in 6th place. But if they actually had a 7.2 spread as claimed, then IBD would be most accurate.
And let me guess, all the polls more reliable than Rasmussen show Obama winning. Is that true ? Can anyone else here prove that Rasmussen still is the most reliable polling source ?
It is interesting that I’ve been using that “old” one to beat up liberals for a month or so now, and it’s technically wrong, but nobody caught it. :-)
Also, it is almost impossible to find on the internet. Link after link points to the “early” report. But to be frank, what votes came in after the fact, can they even be trusted.
ON a side (and comical) note. Limbaugh, about an hour ago, was quoting the very figures we are discussing - from the early document.
