Reply #5: Oh fachrissake. Don't be foolish. Rasmussen reports are WACKILY biased.

Of course, and mind you, I'm undecided--all the Clinton haters will be thrilled at this result and cheer it on, quite mindlessly. Look at who cheers them, on their OWN site? Bill Fucking Frist, that wingnut Kudlow from CNBC....

A few cites on our buddies at Rasmussen--see, they're reliable--reliably SKEWED to the GOP:

Sheppard has been promoting his new favorite pollster, Rasmussen Reports. In a Sept. 17 post citing a Rasmussen poll putting President Bush's approval rating several points higher than the record-low ratings cited by other pollsters, Sheppard claimed that "few media outlets pay attention to the poll conducted on a daily basis by Rasmussen Reports. Could it be that Rasmussen's numbers don't mirror the negativity of the other polling groups?" In a Sept. 18 post, Sheppard claims that "regardless of how accurately Rasmussen Reports predicted the 2004 election results, America's media continue to ignore their polling data."

Rasmussen also has a fairly good record, but seems to have a mild but consistent GOP bias. (If you calibrate Rasmussen's poll by comparing their daily polls of Bush's popularity with those of most other pollsters in the last few days, you reach the conclusion that right now the American people are dividied virtually evenly on whether they favor Feingold's censure measure.)
