(51 posts)Rasmussen, like Fox News, is just another propaganda tool in the Republican quiver. They need to goose Obama's popularity in order to justify showing him ahead of rMoney right now. Why do they want to show Obama ahead at this moment? So the "bounce" that rMoney gets from the repub convention appears that much greater - tee-ing up for the mainstream media a story about rMoney's fabulous "momentum!"

(4,551 posts)They are the only one to show him behind day after day or tied with Romney.
He rarely has a lead in Gallup anymore.
I wonder what's going on? Even Rasmussen has had better numbers for Obama.
Hopefully their poll is an outlier this year.
