Is Rasmussen a message poll?
This is from Wednesday.

<edit>

Recently Scott Rasmussen reported data that he says supports the notion that late-deciding voters prefer Bush. The survey was done from 136 late-deciding voters, far too few to reach statistical significance. This is a message poll aimed at driving the discussion in his preferred direction. Also, the survey assumes that the voters who decided during the survey period are similar in characteristics to those who wait until the last minute, possibly until they are standing in the voting booth. This is untested.
