Rasmussen Ripped


"Democrats are turning their fire on Scott Rasmussen, the prolific independent pollster whose surveys on elections, President Obama's popularity and a host of other issues are surfacing in the media with increasing frequency," reports Politico.

"The pointed attacks reflect a hardening conventional wisdom among prominent liberal bloggers and many Democrats that Rasmussen Reports polls are, at best, the result of a flawed polling model and, at worst, designed to undermine Democratic politicians and the party's national agenda."

Andrew Sullivan makes a persuasive case against Rasmussen with two simple charts -- one showing President Obama's approval ratings by Rasmussen and the other showing the aggregated results of other pollsters.
