"The Hill" poll = Rasmussen poll

I don't know if you noticed that the "independent" website "The Hill" has been posting polls that sound a lot like the push-polls made up by Scott Rasmussen. All of their polls have anti-Obama, pro-Republican outcomes. There's a reason for this. "The Hill" poll is euphemism for "Rasmussen poll" since it is conducted by Rasmussen-owned Pulse Opinion Research...

Since Rasmussen is discredited as a conservative hack, The Hill hides the connection in order to sound legit and unbiased. Expect many more anti-Obama polls from this "independent" website. Here's their latest poll. See reference to "Pulse Opinion Research" at the end of the article.

1. Obama's campaign ads are working in swing states, though..

.. according to this article. I think he's doing better than people might think.

Conservative blogs and websites tout this Rasmussen poll and the readers follow the link, then comment on it. By no means a representative sample of Americans.

4. Thanks. I had forgotten that I was reading from a wingnut vestige. It makes sense.

I see they have a new name for our president: "Oblamo".

Well, that sounds "OLAMEO"!!!!!

8. The Hill misreports their own survey...

Only 68% think Obama has 'significantly changed America'. Of that group, 56% say negative changed.

56% of 68% = 38% of likely voters believe Obama’s first term has transformed the nation in a negative way.
