Rasmussen polls keep GOP numbers high to drive donations.
Now that the inevitable is about to happen, he is aligning his polls to match reality to keep a fig leaf of credibility for his "business".

I guess too many Nate Silvers are out there scrutinizing the state polls for him to try being sloppy.
