Rasmussen daily graph for 12/9/07 - Clinton and Obama up 2, Edwards down 2

[DavidDvorkin]

Clinton's slide seems to have stopped.








(Pretend that the 10 and 20 lines are actually 0. Does anyone know how to make Excel label different parts of the axis differently?)

1. The slide stopped around the time Hillary stopped attacking Obama

She's bumped up some since then. Perhaps she can get her voters back now that her campaign realized their mistake.

2. Granted it is clear Hillary has lost some ground, but the furor over polls

has reached ridiculous levels. One and two point moves mean positively nothing. Margin of Error is not some cute little statistical term to be ignored. This is just like when people look at a 1.5% drop in the stock market and declare that the next Great Depression is here.

3. Of course. Hence the graph.

I hoped it would show whether there are any actual, long-term trends, as opposed to meaningless small changes from day to day.

4. Maybe Oprah is helping her.
